I would honestly love to be good at hooding but simply not willing to piss off a bird by using it as a guinea pig for my own attempts at hand-eye coordination.
I hear ya' Ron, that second statement was just my general input towards this thread, not aimed at you at all. Yea I've had to relearn shooting, and archery left handed as well. Although I don't think eye dominance plays as much of a role in my falconry, maybe that's why it's my primary method of hunting. lol
