I'm strongly left eye dominant, but right handed. I've always shot that way. The solution for me was to close my left eye. Then a vision problem in my R eye developed: Macular pucker. in an average round of skeet at one club where I shot, I would be unable to see at least 2 or 3 targets.
Fooled around with switching to shooting left handed. The problem isn't just switching shoulders. The entire process feels really awkward. I opted for macular pucker surgery, which was successful. I still have difficulty picking up targets against a dark background, but it's seldom an issue at skeet. Sporting clays, on the other hand: I had terrible results at a sxs shoot this summer with a lot of targets flying through the trees. When hunting, I can be swinging on a bird that I see clearly against the sky, only to have it disappear against a background of trees.
But along with everything else, I've also discovered that I now shoot much better with a shorter LOP and more drop. I know that I've lost a bit of height, but I didn't think my arms were any shorter. I'm in the process of either modifying stocks, or parting company with guns I don't shoot well. In the process, I've found that I have to focus on both dimensions before I decide to purchase a gun. For example, I acquired a 12ga that had a one inch wood extension. Lose the inch and I'm right on target as far as LOP goes . . . but I've also reduced the amount of drop.
it's an interesting process.
