Got the same cross dominance but it isn't really a problem except under very quick shooting scenarios. Always squint with my left eye to force my right eye to take over in controlled situations like trap shooting and I use red dots sights when still hunting for deer which seems to compensate for the problem. Scopes are a real problem under snap shooting conditions for me so I really only use them when stand hunting or types of hunting where I have ample time to make the shot. The only time it really affects my accuracy significantly is when I hunt pheasant and get surprised by the animal without time to compensate. Was never a problem when I was younger(37 now) but I'd say in the last 5-6 years I really started noticing it. Think my eyes were equally dominant and they switched to left eye dominance at that time because thats when I noticed that when I would shoot a handgun I started wondering which eye I had used to aim and started having problems with scoped rifles and first purchased a red dot. Vision is excellent otherwise. take care.
