Using rifle sights on a shotgun to sort cross over sight?

[katman 0]

Don’t know if this has been mentioned before but I’ve shot for years with scoped airguns and been a good shot and pellet on pellet with my HW100k. BUT I’m left handed and now shoot with a shotgun and find it hard to hit much. I’ve just tried the eye dominance test and find I’m a left-handed shooter with right eye dominance. The Hatsan escort I’ve just bought has sight mounts and the question is has anyone shot a shotgun using rifle sights?

any tips welcomed its doing my head in......

Hi have you tried an eye patch or a pair of sun glasses with the left eye glass removed it should help to train your left eye

keep both eyes open , practice on the leed and the the kill will follow

I do shoot right eye closed due to shooting with sighted guns for years...

find it hard to shoot both eyes open as I still shoot rifles with sights...

i shoot with one eye shut as do a fair few lads i know,,good shots anall. there is no need to keep both eyes open. shoot quick and instinctivly. sometime shooting both eyes open will hinder you. and slow your natural flow and swing down.. close one eye.pick up the pace and you will hit more.

i had a spaz 12 a while back, it had ghost sights on it,

it was shit.

my browning on the other hand has a mid bead, just line it up with the bead on the end and hey presto, i start hitting stuff

or you could try getting the stock cast for left hander with right eye dominance, think they are cross over stocks
