[QUOTE="cvrx4, post: 2696835, member: 4174"] I had the exact same problem. My dad would put a patch over my eye when I was young and hated it. One day shooting with an optometrist he noticed the issue and had me do a few simple exercises and determined i am left eye dominant so I started shooting lefty. I also had the same issue with not being able to close my left eye and shoot right handed. It caused me issues during deer season as my father would setup all of our deer stands for right handed shooters and on more than one occasion I had to shoot right handed. I would lean my head over as far as possible and use my left eye. Over the last couple of years I decided to try to learn to close my left eye. My family used to make fun of me because I couldn't close my left eye or wink with both eyes. I started sitting around first closing it with my hand and then concentrating on using muscles to keep it closed. Or I would close both eyes and try to only open my right eye. I looked at it kind of like dry firing practice and would do it while sitting in front of the tv or computer (like now). It only took a little while to master it. I was surprised how easy it was to learn after 35 years of not being able to. I then try to practice a few shots with both eyes when shooting scoped rifles. If I can do it anyone can. [/QUOTE]
