I've seen people put some Vaseline, or scotch tape, on the lens of one eye's shooting glasses to make the other eye become dominant. There's more than one way to skin a cat. I DO feel for those with cross dominance, and I hope I don't sound like I'm being inconsiderate of them.
From my point of view, I don't think you're being inconsiderate at all. It's been a good discussion and that's great.
I don't think I could ever learn to shoot with the other shoulder. A guy that I occasionally shoot with, a former US Marine, can easily switch shoulders and does well at both.
I've been shooting right hand with the left eye closed long enough so that all I have to do, with or without a gun in hand, is just put my two hands up in a shooting position and my left eye closes automatically. What I have to learn to do is not flinch when I pull the trigger. It doesn't happen often but is frustrating when it does.
As in "PULL" . . . "BANG" . . . "S _ _ T".
