I told him how to dial the scope and how to hold the rifle and all that stuff. He hit the targets I called out to him on the first try and it's his first time shooting anything bigger than a 22. So he's a good learner. He shot the rifle right handed since he's semi-ambidextrous. My question is do think he should just shoot as a righty then? I don't really see any other way for him to shoot. Advice?
Left handed, right eye dominant?

Re: Left handed, right eye dominant?
I would recommend he just shoot right handed if he is ambidextrous. Most gear is set up for right handers and its better to use your dominate eye.

Re: Left handed, right eye dominant?
I'm leaft eye dominant and right handed but I've acclimated to shooting with my right eye. I still use my left eye to operate cameras and for archery. You just have to find what's most comfortable.

Re: Left handed, right eye dominant?
I am right handed and left eye dominate (Right eye does not work well). I shoot left handed without issue.

Shoot on whatever side the dominant eye is.

God shoots a Remington 700, drives a Chevy Truck and carries a Glock 19.
I don't do any of those things.
