No two ways about it, dominance is the key driver. You will NEVER be as good a shot with your non-dominate eye. The mechanics of shooting left or right can be taught and learned, you cannot teach a non-dominant eye to do a better job. Shotgun, it is even more critical.
For anyone the has a left handed kid and is thinking about teaching them on a right handed gun, then switching later, do them a big favour and don't. If you doubt how much difference it makes, pick up and shoot a left handed gun. It won't take long to figure out why making them shoot a right handed gun is a bad idea, both safety wise and the amount of time it takes to then learn to shoot a left handed one.
