I have a niece just coming into to shooting, she had no end of trouble trying get a comfortable position around a rifle. After a quick test I ascertained she is left eye dominant but surprisingly is right handed.
What is the best solution to getting around her condition.
1) Shoot right handed and force her to train the right eye?
or
2) Shoot left handed?
Thanks guys.
Right handed, left eye dominant

I almost went blind in my right eye which made me use my left eye.
I started out with a purpose made high tapered scope base on a Rem action in a right hand stock. I just leaned over the rifle and used my left eye.
Now I shoot left handed but I use a right hand action. It works for me, as the triger hand is always on the mat and the free hand that some people use to squeze there rear sand bag is used to load and unload the rifle. There is always a clear view into the action as well.
