Eye dominance issue

This can be a tricky issue. Most would say either to take you protective shooting glasses and put a piece of tape over your "off hand" or "weak hand" side and then train your other eye muscle to adjust accordingly. (If you are a right handed, put tape over left lens and this will help train you right eye to adjust).

If your left eye IS your strong/dominant eye you may be better off training yourself to shoot left handed.

I am right-eye dominant and right handed. Will the tape-over-the-glasses on the weak eye technique still work for this?
Yes it will help strengthen you dominant eye if you are truly right-eye dominant. If you are left-eye dominant then most would suggest switching shooting hand. I am right-eye dominant but have trained myself to be ambi with both hands. Only problem I run into is that I really have to focus with my right eye when shooting because my dominance tends to switch...not good for competition shooting.
