some people have issues training eye dominance out... If you have a pistol.. which eye do you find yourself drawing to and aiming with?

I actually find I go to my left, though I am right handed, but I shoot my rifles off the right eye.

I think there's exercises you can do to train to switch your eye... I've tried it, though I'm not sure if it's successful or not since it feels I can switch focus pretty easily already.

Take something nice and flat like a sheet of paper... hold it up between your eyes so your vision is split... practice changing focus so you see out of each eye. Might help if you write a unique symbol on either side of the paper to give you something to focus on. The faster you can do it, the better off you'll be when sighting.

I generally don't shoot both eyes open through anything greater than 3x magnification... it gets really weird trying to focus one eye in the distance while the other is focused close.
