- David,
- I have the same exact problem only I don't shoot many rifles
- but I do get in a fair bit with a shotgun. When I first started I
- tried a number of different methods(including trying to pull my left
- eye over the stock). I am now completely comfortable shooting right
- handed with my left eye closed. Some folks will tell you that cuts
- out depth perception and a large field of view but I really don't
- worry about all of that. I think looking down the barrel tends to
- give me back the depth perception. I'd like to be able to use all of
- this for an excuse for when I have missed but I don't really believe
- it to be true.

- Is this known to work? I am a bit skeptical.
