    Ok guys ever since I have been old enough to shoot a shotgun I hav alway pulled right with my shot. I counter act this by aiming slightly left. But how can I correct this problem for good. Could I be tilting my head or is it coming from closing my left eyes. Anything that I could try....please help!!!!!!

    The first thing that I would do: is to see what dominant eye you have. Could be that you are using the wrong eye. I believe 5% of people are dominant in the opposite eye that they shoot with.

    There are numerous ways to determine this. They are all really easy, however, hard to explain. I have never done this one but it will work fine. http://www.bornwild.info/hunting-your-dominant-eye.php

    If you are sighting with the wrong eye then you might have to learn to shoot with the opposite arm.

    Just my thoughts.

    good luck to all
