Ditto, although I'm a mirror of you. I suspect we can articulate this because we're aware of it, but I'll bet it's an almost imperceptible distance the gun would be in some "non-traditional" line - but enough to get it done & let our "best" eye take over.

I should've added in first post above that while I am now RH-LED, that occurred only in later years and for decades figured that anyone that wasn't "matched up" was 'broke'. Heavily RH, still, but eyes change. A fine & empathetic optometrist who began working with me after a year when some match scores went in the toilet has still not been able to tell me what causes this change.

Frostfire, strictly out of curiosity, do either of your students have any corrective issues with their vision, past or current, and were they always cross-dominant?
