shooting with the wrong eye

[MrChipShoulder]

I have a right handed friend that that has an 'iffy' right eye and has to do acrobatics over the stock to use his left eye in the scope.

For diopter we have these :-

But what is available for scoped rifles?

Thanks.

Has your friend tried shooting left handed?

I am right handed, but have a dominant left eye. I shoot left handed as a result and it is not weird/odd.

I'm left eye dominant and shoot right eyed. Depends how strong your motor side is over your less dominant.

By 'iffy' eye, I mean it doesn't work.
He doesn't want to shot left handed.

The standard advice is to wear clear safety or shooting glasses and cover the dominant eye lens with a piece of opaque plastic (e.g. from a 2 litre milk bottle). This allows the shooter to keep both eyes open, but only process information from the non-dominant eye. That is what they taught me to do on a junior coaching instructor course, but I've never had first hand experience myself as I'm right eyed.

Edit: but if you mean he is blind in one eye, that is different! I think shooting left handed is going to be easier than any kind or 'reach over' stock or scope mount..

offset scope mounts

offset scope mounts

I have looked for these, but can't find any.
I expect he'd want them to fit 11mm dove tail.

I can make a custom set for him, but buying off the shelf would be quicker and easier.

When I had a dedicated NV on my FX Verminator, because the mount was so high the easiest way to shoot was to roll my head over the stock & shoot it left eye.
So if he needs to shoot left eye I'd say fit the highest mounts you can find & try to roll his head over the stock, cutting down the stock would also help.

I know in the Biathlon world cup one shooter uses a dog leg stock to shoot left eye-right handed after she damaged her right eye.

I know Gehmann do an offset mount system for disabled shooters.

Agree with this its what we teach in archery. All depends how good or bad the vision is in the eye
