    Young lady joined our youth team that is right handed left eye dominant. Her father wants her to shoot left handed, but it doesn't seem to work for her. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks.

    If she won't shoot left handed put tape on the left lens or close left eye. I would try left handed and maybe tape on the right lens for 1500 to 2000 targets

    Google ..... strong ocular dominance in normal binocular vision ..... and find .....

    "studies found the correlation between sensory eye dominance and sighting dominance (hole-in-the-card) to be weak"

    "Ocular prevalence refers to the subject's perceived alignment of stereoscopically presented near and far targets, imaged within Panum's area. The extension of a theoretical straight line drawn through the perceived position of the near and far target crosses the interocular bridge at a point that provides a measure of ocular prevalence. A crossing point located at the midpoint between the eyes indicates no prevalence (0%)—that is, both eyes contribute equally to the percept."

    "Conclusions"
    "To conclude, we think these experiments confirm that forms of graded eye dominance occur under binocular viewing conditions. The observation that many subjects did not show pronounced eye dominance during these experimental conditions agrees with previous research. The effects of eye dominance appear to become less obvious when binocular visual feedback is allowed and effects of manual habit are minimized. This suggests that in subjects with normal sight, eye dominance may be a transient feature depending on visual conditions."

    If she does everything right-handed except shooting just have her close one eye. Ask Nora Ross if it's a good idea. This is a very common problem in females.
