Right handed/left eye dominant shooting advice?

[CrazyLich]

As per the title, I've found myself in a bit of a tough spot with regards to shooting.

I'm definitively left-eye dominant but was raised right handed, so even though I'm technically ambidextrous (actually cross dominant, but it's the same outcome)I can't perform nearly as well with my left hand. My rifle is right-handed as well, so the brass ejects onto my arm if I'm shooting left handed.

My pistol is set up for left handed shooting, but I'm still much better with my right.

What's the best way to reconcile the two? Is it best to learn to shoot left-handed and just deal with the hot brass?

IMO, Good eye sight is not the decision maker. I have good eye sight, but do have floaters that sometimes go by in the sight picture, I sometimes deal with it, all fuzzy and sorts, take the shot, and still get a 10. All depends on what level any one is at. IMO
All is fine as long as you have good alignment in that fuzzy blur.

I have had success coaching left eye dominant shooters who were already doing things right-handed by having them use a blocker(blinder) on the left eye while shooting right-handed. It is a good idea to get a new shooter to use their dominant eye/hand when starting out. You will have to decide which is easier to overcome: the left eye dominance or that you have been working right-handed. JMHO

Go with the most comfortable for you

In forty years of pistol shooting, I have tried several alternatives since I was cross dominant until my left eye recently had an injury to the cornea and I found that my brain had shifted to right eye dominant, and I see no evidence of a shift back now that the injury has healed. I shot with a traditional dueling posture - feet in line at ight angle to the target and rested my chin almost on my right shoulder in order to get alignment. I tried a blinder on the left eye and normal stance which was physically less stressful, but did not make any difference to my scores, and I shifted back and forth a couple of times. I shot PPC for fun over a few years and was comfortable shifting hands and eye. I learned recently that numerous people experience shifts between master eyes, so it does seem to be a possibility.
