Explaining eye dominance

Finding a gun that fits properly would help I'm sure, but do I go left or right?...

Shoot right, wear shooting glasses with a small piece of clear tape or a tiny smear of something like lip balm or sunscreen over your dominant eye. It doesn't take much to push your non-dominant eye into taking charge.

Or you could get one of the 3 Stooges to poke you in the eye, lol.

Thanks, I really should look into this. Being a smaller framed woman it's already difficult enough trying to find a gun that fits properly. Might be time to just suck it up and have something built for me. I've spent the last couple years trying different people's guns without much success.

Good luck,and do not hesitate.
I handled once a nice Weatherby rifle ,with the stock i mentioned above...and it is amazing how effective it is, doing what it is designed for.

As a help...here is a Youtube explanation/example.
