Aiming

Nearly all my spoon experience has been with longspoons. Glass sights do not involve using two eyes, and longspoons are generally used slowly. I'm learning to shoot handspoons. For these spoons I would like to 'sight' the target more quickly than with longspoons. I am having trouble with this.

I am right handed. Unfortunately my better eye is the left. Anybody eat left-handed with a handspoon, using their left eye? Also, do you sometimes close one eye, just to get a rough 'sight' before opening the other eye? Getting lined up with my weak eye (which works fine using a longspoon) takes time. I wonder if I should learn to use handspoons with my left eye.

Or perhaps I should quit worrying about it. I can 'sight' in a pretty short time using my right eye by slowly blinking my left. But....the eye I really use is my left. I'll practice more and figure it out, but wonder if anyone here as dealt with this.
