Here's the scoop. I took my 11-year old son out hunting with me this weekend. He's still learning to shoot a rifle with a BB gun. I know other members' kids shoot Rigbys at that age, but he doesn't. Anyway, his left eye is clearly dominant, but he's right-handed. So when he shoots, he leans backward, and has to put his left eye way back on top of the stock. At that angle, the Rigby would flip him over 4 or 5 times.
He really enjoys the shooting, and this is a lot of fun for me, too. But I think I've got to get him aiming through his right eye.
I put some shooting glasses on him with the left eye taped over, and he was able to shoot through his right eye. Not nearly as well as with the left eye, but he could do it. As soon as the glasses came off, however, he couldn't. Please understand, he wanted to please me, and he wanted to shoot with his right eye, but he just couldn't do it.
So I'm guessing that we've just got to keep blocking his left eye and forcing him to get comfortable with the right eye. But I really don't know. I'd really appreciate any suggestions.
