Eye dominance poll.

[Zach S]

I always use my dominate eye, which is on the wrong side.

Handguns get shot right handed, longarms are fired from the wrong shoulder. Both eyes open, all the time.

edit: Most of the time... I have to squint my left eye when shooting longarms from the right shoulder.

I've tried repeatedly to shoot with my weak eye, but all I've ever done was put holes in air, not paper.

In my younger days, I had 20/10 vision -- fighter pilot's vision. But as I got older, I became farsighted in my right (master) eye and near sighted in my left.

I retrained myself to shoot a handgun with the left eye (the trick is to tip the head slightly to the right.) After a while I found I could see both the sights and target -- the sights with the left eye, the target with the right. The brain will superimpose the sights on the target naturally.

I have no dominate eye. I can shoot with either eye and either hand......chris3

 

[P5 Guy]

I'm left eye dominate and mostly right handed. I do not want to shoot rifle lefty.

My great-grandfather was ambidexterous -- he couldn't write with either hand.

Both eyes open with rifle or shotgun, left or right eye with handgun, was forced to go that way problem with cataracts that aren't ready for surgery.

Have ya'll heard the one about the Japanese opthalmoligist?
He thought a cataract was an expensive American car!
One of his buddies didn't like cataracts so he bought a Rincoln Continential!

 

[Odd Job]

I'm right handed, left eye dominant.
Handguns I aim left eye, scoped rifle or crossbow right eye, and my last rifle has a reflex dot which I find is just right for both eyes open.

I'm the same as the OP. I'm left eye dominant but mostly right handed now (used to be ambidextrous as a kid) so handguns are fired aiming with my left eye (though both eyes typically open) and I fire longarms from the right shoulder with my left eye (typically closing the left eye). I'm curious to try a rifle with a reflex dot as I guessed I might fare as well as Odd Job seems to with one.
