RH, but left-eye dominant
I have the same issue. At 62 I am too old to try and change. All of my guns are right handed. As long as I close my left eye I am ok.

When is 'old' too old?

turkey hunting for beginners
Yes, the sound of your call carries further downwind than you can hear a gobble coming into the wind. It is amazing how far a gobbler can see movement in open areas. If you have just called he is apt to be focused on your location. I always call just before I crest or move around the point on a...- firefranco
