Ditto.
I was shot with a slingshot in the right eye when I was about 13. I've got a poly lens in there now, and a permanently dialated pupil. Had a BB gun out back within a week teaching myself to shoot lefty, never looked back. About everything that requires precise vision I do lefty (bow, rifle, etc), but I'm right handed. I go eithr way with pistol, but prefer righty with left eye.
When I was shooting clays competitively, there was a famous instructor I used to chat with. He explained that some scientists actually believe that eye dominance may indicate one's true handedness. They explained that a left eye dom. individual may very well have been born left handed, but through conditioning by parents, siblings, etc. as an infant that right handedness was established. No scientist here, but sounds plausible. This instructor's point was that it's often very easy for a left eye dom. righty shooter to train themself to shoot left.
