Rich maybe you try an offset sight like Dave Feleen uses. (I know I butchered Dave’s last name spelling.)

Richard, I can only imagine what your frustration level is with it. Trying to acquire a sight picture and get the proper mount and muscle memory from a lifetime of shooting on one side is like learning to write with a different hand. Some can maybe take to it like a duck to water and for others it can be unraveling. We all have blind spots and barriers but you can overcome it. Hard part is doing it yourself or by yourself. Some can do it but you may need some help from a good instructor. You know you but getting a good instructor or even a buddy that knows how to shoot and giving feedback may make it easier to adapt and overcome.


Stay with it and don't be discouraged and keep practicing at home mounting and dry firing gun with snap caps. One day it will just click and come together. It did for my dads friend that lost his right eye and then learned lefty. He was a ornery fella from West By God Virginia and he loved bird hunting and bird dogs so he was not going to denied and figured it out.
