Re: Right Handed Left Eye Dominant
I'm the same way.
Pistol stance, I shoot Weaver
However, with rifles I shoot normally.
Whatever works for her, go with it.

It's a gift...
teach her to shoot both righty and lefty.
I'm left eyed and formerly right handed, now I'm ambi.Because I can't fit Catman in my pocket.

Re: Right Handed Left Eye Dominant
I'm right handed/right eye dominant & shoot with both eyes open. When I need to transition to the left hand with the handgun, I tilt my head & rest my chin on my left bicep. That puts my dominant right eye in line with the sights.
That method doesn't work for long guns though."It's hard to imagine a more stupid or more dangerous way of making decisions than by putting those decisions in the hands of people who pay no price for being wrong."

Re: Right Handed Left Eye Dominant
Teach her how to use BOTH eyes while she's still young. It really bugs some people that I can switch between eyes at will although left eyed/right handed.
When it comes to shooting, let her decide which is more comfortable, left or right .... Quickest way to get a kid off something is to make them do it your way.

Re: Right Handed Left Eye Dominant
I am right handed, left eye dominant, I have an astigmatism, and wear glasses. I find it easy to shoot right or left handed using my left eye through pistol sights, and right eye through rifle sights. I always shoot with both eyes open.
PUT AN ACOG ON IT!

Here is a nice article:

Also look up the Center Axis Relock technique. I have tried that before and from what I can remember you can align on either eye.
Just my 2 cents

Re: Right Handed Left Eye Dominant
Im left eye dominant and right handed. I shoot both pistols and long guns with my right hand. I use my left eye with handguns and I've taught myself to use my right eye with rifles. Its easier with some sort of optics, but I can do it with iron sights too. With both pistols and long guns I shoot both eyes open.
