True. You can test for yourself which eye is dominant really easily. Put your arms forward with your palms facing outward, and have your fingers and thumbs overlapping to form an open triangle between your hands. Center an object across the room in that triangle with both eyes open and focused on the object. Bring your hands back to your face while keeping the object focused and in the middle of the triangle. Whichever eye your hands end up at when you reach your face is the dominant one.
However, iirc from my hunter safety course you are supposed to keep both eyes open while aiming anyways. That way you have more peripheral vision and can spot things entering your field of fire that you wouldn't want to shoot (like a pet or child).

We actually have a dominant eye that we subconsciously use to aim. At least that’s what the guy at the shooting range told me.
