First, you determine whether you are right-eyed or left eyed. (Make an OK circle with thumb and index finger and look at someone through it . . . if they see your right eye through your finger circle, then you are right-eyed, if not, left-eyed. This may not agree with your handedness.)

If the lefty is right-eyed, no problem, just shoot right-handed. If the lefty is left-eyed . . . there is a problem in that they will have to shoot right-handed with the non-dominant eye. That could be OK, as the left hand will be steadying and aiming the rifle while the right hand simply squeezes the trigger.
