I dont know whether I was taught to write right handed or not but I definately do. I'm a little odd with sports. Cricket, I bat and bowl right handed. Tennis, squash ect right handed. Billiards, shooting, im a lefty. Kick a ball left foot.. all up to the wop, definately some southpaw in there.. my daughters a lefty Haha..
Just gonna be practice.. Bad habits are hard to break. Wish I had a good tutor to start.. Though learning it all myself and finding good accuracy is also satisfying.

Both eyes open here although I didn't start doing it till my late teens. Like others have said it keeps the perifial vision in operation and helps to ensure that your "firing zone" remains clear amongst other things. It all helps to reduce the "tunnel vision" syndrome scenario.

I close my left eye when shooting.
Ive recently tried shooting both eyes open but need more practise, espically in higher magnification.

I cant shoot shotgun both eyes open though, im not the best anyway, but suck majorly if i try both eyes.

Good on ya @Beetroot if it works for ya thats all that really matters I suspect theres plenty more that shut an eye but dont wanna confess cause its probably not cool...

I shut my left, don't care if its cool or not....its just how I do it. Deer don't seem to worry too much about it either

I suspect you might find your left eye is dominant. Clay target, or any moving targets you typically rely on your brains distance estimate for leads and as soon as you close one eye your distance estimate tends to be less accurate.

Have you tried both eyes open mate? main thing that got me trying was comfort when lying behind rifle for any more than a single shot...

Shotty both eyes open. I try to remember with rifle but it's much easier to forget looking through a scope.
