I'm RH and left eye dominant but stayed shooting RH. During a recent eye exam it was found I have macula edema in the right eye - the crosshairs look wiggly. Steroid shots didn't close up the blood vessel that's leaking so on the 12th I start a series of shots injected into my friggin' eyeball . I've been told not to expect my vision to return in my right eye, just to keep it from getting worse.
So I'm contemplating switching to shooting left hand as that eye is sharp as a tack. My rifles are all rh bolt actions that could present difficulties, the red dot on my turkey gun shouldn't be a problem nor my muzzleloader, or shooting my scoped crossbows - not sure about the cartridges from my AR15 whizzing past in front my nose though.
So I'm wondering if anyone has had to switch in their later years and how it went? I was thinking of getting a BB gun or air rifle with a scope that I could practice with all summer to get used to the switch. Any recommendations would be appreciated.
