I read the thread below about eye dominance but it didn't quite answer my questions. I'm not new to shooting or handling, but eye dominance is still something I can't decide on. A while back when I went to an NRA instructor and we did the eye dominance test, even he was confused with what was going on. Results were just inconsistent.
Ever since I started shooting, I naturally used my left eye to aim for pistols. I still do it without thinking and that's what is comfortable to me. When I shoot rifles, I instinctively want to use my right eye (which is good since I'm right-handed). I didn't realize I was doing it until someone else pointed it out.
Now when I close one eye then open both and focus on the front sight, I just see double and it doesn't center up. I can't seem to easily focus with both eyes regardless of which eye I use to aim first. No matter where I adjust to I can never have both eyes open and see only one front sight.
I will have my ccw in just a few weeks and since using only one eye can be potentially disadvantageous in self-defense scenarios, is there anything I can do to try to force one eye to be dominant? Or should I just go with what I'm used to at this point?
