Puzzled about handiness and eye dominance

[conradin]

A certain kid with whom I am training is left handed and let eye dominance. But after merely 5 minutes on a junior left handed rifle, he insisted that he wanted to shoot right. There is no physical disability from preventing him from shooting left. We also have leftie rifles. He is doing fine. But I cannot figure out why, and what is the possible future. Anyone who has run into this sort of situation can give me some examples?

Without more information my best guess is the kid probably sees better out of his non-dominant eye right now.

Did you ask the shooter "why" the change?

Some folks are only slightly stronger in the "master" eye, and when getting the sight in front of the eye they actually become dominant in the other eye. Infrequent, but it doe happen.

OK, apparently he was not sure why, but his dad confirmed he was cross dominant, so that makes sense. I guess sometimes kids cannot explain stuff..or we as adults do not listen hard enough.

I have a friend that does evrything rt handed except play golf.. Left just felt right
