[QUOTE="Survival Tactics, LLC, post: 1030593, member: 10892"] There are many cross dominant shooters out there that shoot rifles left and pistols right or reversed respectively. If you have no issues shooting with both eyes open then continue practicing good fundamentals and keep on keepin on. The only major issue would come with shooting rifles with both eyes open. If you are using your strong hand and weak eye it causes a sight alignment problem due to the impossibility of establishing a cheek weld while using the cross dominant eye and will force you to close your dominant eye to establish a sight picture. As far as pistols it just creates a unnatural head position just as if you were shooting with your weak hand. As far a retaining yourself... I'd say no, but it is always a good idea to be proficient with your weak hand as well. My point is Train instead of Retaining and add another tool to your toolbox [/QUOTE]
