Right.
I am Leftie so Left is my dominant eye in nature
One of the "breakthroughs" in left eye right eye dominant versus being left handed right handed is the use of electronic "scoring" using a real M16 / M4 converted to electronics. "Back in the day" a miss was a miss on the rifle range, and there were a lot of real "bad" shooters that no matter what they did could not hit the broad side of the barn.
Well, with the electronics, we can "see" what the sights "see" and the "bullet" strike and there are people who are shooting left handed (or right) using the wrong "eye" and that just throws everything off. They are not even aware of what they are doing. On video, you can see them, for example, shooting left with the left eye, but the "focus" is out of the right eye.
It takes work, but they can be retrained to shoot off their non dominant eye or possibly change from shooting right to shooting left handed, for example.
Left. I am left eye dominant, but right handed. Something I learned from shooting handguns.
Right, but I could do it with either eye.
RIGHT
Right - my dominant eye. But it seems to me that my left eye would be just as good.

My digital cameo album 1950-64 Cameos - take a look!
I am left eyed, but right handed. I taught myself early to shoot a long gun left handed. Works for me. I shoot pool left handed too.
If there's any doubt, put a camera to your face. It will automatically go to your dominant eye.
With a magnifier - right eye but things are brighter in the left. I find both eyes with a stereo microscope is much more efficient - LOL.
the dominant eye in my house belongs to my wife and she has two of em
With both eyes open put your index finger out in front of your eyes and aim at a distant point. Close each eye separately. Which ever open eye does not cause the finger to move is the dominant eye. Peace Roy

I'm cross-eye dominant. I cannot see through the scope of a hunting rifle shooting right-handed. I have to shoot left-handed. If I place a playing card between my left eye and my glasses I can see through the scope shooting right handed. I always felt being left-eye dominant and a right handed hitter made me a good hitter. Lead eye is out front. Darts is a different story. To play at a very high level, I've had to make adjustments. But they can be made...Phil Taylor, the greatest player of all-time was cross-eye dominant.

Left, but before this post I never gave it a thought.
Ditto! Except for the guns.
Later, Paul.
Right.
Gonna get me a $50 Octagonal someday. Some. Day.
Left eye, and I am right hand dominate.
Everything is all right!
Okay I learned this in training with the feds. Point at something close one eye at a time and witch ever one is on target that is your dominate eye.
Hoard the keys.
I am right eye dominant... However, about three years ago, I had an eye operation (Dr. goes into the eye and cleans off the retina) and since then I have had a retinal aberration (caused by the residue that was removed) which causes a slight central distortion in the viewing field. Asked the Opthamologist what I would need to do to become left eye dominant... he said two years of specialized exercises....so, I taught myself a different sighting system. Cheers, RickO
My shooting eye(s). Right for rifles, both eyes for handguns, unless I'm shooting a target pistol with good sights then I'll use the right.
lefty, we use our right mind ( whats left of it any way ) just saying
I never gave this any thought before now, but I must be weird. I am right eye for distance (for shooting), but I use my left eye for viewing coins close up.

Right eye for me. Was almost hesitant to say the words right or left given the political climate here.
