All my life I've been left handed and left-eye dominant. I've shot this way constantly. And until very recently, I've been pretty sure that my right eye was the worse of the two, even though I have 20/20 vision.
So tonight when I was handling a friend's Mauser 98, I put it to my left shoulder just like normal and tried to sight up on a painting of a deer on a wall, about 20 feet away. I was having a hell of a time focusing the way I needed to to line everything up. I couldn't focus correctly to see the sights line up.
I switched shoulders. Same target. Through my right eye, I actually focused much easier when I was trying to line the sights up.
So my question is... What the hell? Why is that happening?
