Right Handed, Left Eye Dominant Child

If he ever picks up a shotgun he will MAJORLY thank you for teaching him to shoot on the side of his dominant eye.

Yeah,

It seems like some of this advice in this thread assumes shotgun shooting and pistol shooting are not both eyes open activities.

Almost all great shooters I know shoot pistol, shotgun and rifle with both eyes open and on the dominant side.

The only exceptions I've seen to that are shooters where the parent/mentor pushed them to learn on the wrong side....and then I met @SloppyJ.

My daughter is the same. Bite the bullet and buy the equipment that best fits your child naturally. It will make it more enjoyable for them, therefore they will want to do it more.

Start him with his dominant eye and never look back. He'll appreciate it in the long run.
Im left eyed dominant and very very right hand dominant. I have cerebral palsy and am hemiplegic to my left side. (meaning my left side is my weak side) I learned to shoot rifles and shotgun left handed right off the bat.
I struggled trying to shoot archery left handed when I was younger and instead shot right handed because my left arm was so weak. A couple years in and my shooting game for archery was a complete train wreck. Started back at square one shooting a left hand 30lb bow in 8th grade. Within a few months my success shooting lefthand archery far surpassed where I was shooting right handed.
Now at 35 shooting lefty is so instinctual it's crazy, but if I try to pick up a rifle or shotgun and shoot right handed you'd swear I've never shot a firearm in my life.
