Here's the thing, there is stuff on the net about right hand left eye problems - it's a problem that plague shooters of all sorts, including archers.

There are only 3 solutions recommended by professionals:
1) eye patch over left eye
2) quick target acquisition using both eyes, close left eye for precision aiming
3) shoot with the left hand

However, the recommendation on the net are for recreational shooters aiming mostly at static targets. In other words the targets aren't shooting back.

The reason why I ask this question here, is that the targets do shoot back so method 2 above may not work. It may - but I don't know, and was wondering if people have actually tried it in a rifle gunfight. Snipers don't count, as you're not shooting under as much pressure as someone in CQB. In CQB, I imagine that it would waste a few milliseconds closing your left eye before you could shoot. I know for me, and as others mentioned here - closing your left eye results in a little blurred vision in the right.

The only way I see out of this for me is option 3. However, it would be interesting to read the accounts of airsofters who have used method 2 successfully in non-sniper shooting.
