I don't always use the same eye but often use left, even though I am nominally 
RHanded.
If I shoot a rifle it gets interesting as I put the rifle butt to the right 
shoulder and usually 
use left eye. I was somewhat ambidexterous as a child. I used to write on the 
right page with my
right hand and on the left page with my left hand. Whatever you do seems to get 
to feel natural
eventually, I think.
