Easy hit - anyone use it?

[70extreme]

Has anyone tried using Easy hit to help fix eye dominance problems shooting with both eyes open? How did you like it?

I haven't, but one thing I would be concerned with is this - if you are looking at the sight, then your focus is not on the bird - where you should be looking. If you are talking about using it as part of your pre-mount routine as in trap shooting to make sure you are lined up, it might work.

First, are you cross dominant, or do you switch back and forth (many folks do)

Have you tried to fuzzy up the strong eye lens with tape, vaseline, dots, etc? Did they not work?

Hvae you tried keeping both eyes open until you shoot, then closing one as you shoot?

Have you tried switching to your dominant side?

Thanks Oneounce.

My eyes switch back and forth with both eyes open. With a small piece of tape over the left eye (I'm right handed) of my glasses, this problem completely goes away.

In the past, I have kept both eyes open until right before the shot, then I close one eye. I want to improve my shooting and most people say keeping both eyes open is better.

I usually shoot 20ish on skeet with the blink method. I think for my duck and dove hunting blinking could be costing me birds by the loss of depth perception.

I understand - I started shooting rifles first and when I started with shotguns, I had a bad habit of using only one eye. I still struggle with it as I wear one contact for distance and none in my off eye so I don't need glasses for close reading - gives me my distance in one eye, my close up in the other - sort of a daily compromise that works well for the most part, even in shooting.

When I'm on the bird, 5-stand scores in the 23-25 range are very doable, but when I am off.......scores in the high teens become the frustrating norm..same with sporting - if that stupid contact isn't sitting perfectly, I get a slight blur - similar to your frustration with the off eye......and my scores reflect that. (One of these days I just need to go get one of those laser jobs done)

I bought one. It is still on the gun, but I don't use it. When I realized that this is the wrong way to go is when I rented an over under and shot a sporting clays course with it. Somewhere around station 6 or 7 I noticed that the gun had no front bead. Clearly I wasn't even seeing it since it took a look at the gun while it was sitting in the rack for me to even notice the missing bead.

I suffer from eye dominance issues too. I have tried mightily to shoot with both eyes open. Just can't do it. I start with both eyes open and wink just before I shoot. It works pretty well for me, and I know others also use this technique. The tape tricks seems to work for lots of folks too. The tricky front beads are in my opinion a waste of time.
