He shoots right hand and right eyed, but is left eye dominant. His left eye is covered with card, often an old RWS R50 box.
I'd say that there are a lot of shooters who are cross dominant...

I remember having this conversation many years ago when pistol shooting. Of the 20 or so people asked, 8 were cross-dominant (including me, left eye, right hand).

I still shoot right handed, just close the left eye and rely on the right with a rifle, but with a pistol i move it more across my body to use the left eye.
