I worked with Dale Tate in Nor Cal. He bent the stock from 3 1/4" DAH to 2 1/2" and added 3/8" cast on. Looks a little funny but shoots well for me. It doesn't solve all the shortcomings of a left handed, right eye dominant shooter.......

I went to my hunting club/clay range the other day and met a fellow who is a pretty well known hunter/writer. He was hunting alone with his dog. Used an AYA 28 on penned pheasant. He was left eye dominate and right handed. He was wearing a set of shooting glasses with about a one inch square of clear scotch tap applied to the left lens right in front of his pupil. He said he could still shoot with both eyes open, and his depth perception worked, but his right had to function as the dominate eye, since his left was blurred due to the tape.

"Does it work?" I asked.

"Yep", he said; smiling, "works fine".

I suggest that you try it.

If it works for you, it could be a break through! Lots of shooters have your problem.

You are exactly right Steve. My wife is right handed but her left eye takes over especially on targets going left to right. Clear tape works great and I have also heard of people putting a dab of Vaseline on their left lens to distract that eye to allow the right eye to dominate.
