Re: Eye dominance
Lefty, but I'm blind in my left eye, so the only thing I do left handed is write, everything else is done with the right (with a small level of being ambidextrous)

Re: Eye dominance
Left eyed and mostly right handed - maybe 60/40 R/L handedness.
Rifles - left handed whenever possible
Pistols - right handed/left eye.
I've noticed since getting glasses about 6 years ago my left has got stronger and my right weaker...

Re: Eye dominance
Having now crossed the equator and being the wrong way up has your hand and eye dominance not swapped over?

Re: Eye dominance
Surprising no. It's the shooting upside down again that's proving tricky!

Re: Eye dominance
Funnily enough, in my youth, I joined the RAF as a pilot. But my generally below average eyesight let me down. I passed the eyesight test before starting OASC but had to have it redone part way through and failed. I use a blinder on a headband for target shooting and close my left for clays.Blackstuff wrote: ↑Fri Mar 11, 2022 8:27 amSame here, supposedly makes for good pilots for some reason but its a bugger for shooting which is why i prefer to shoot everything with a red dot on now so both eyes can be open and it doesn't really matter.
When i'm shooting clays i just put a square of tap on the left lens of my glasses to keep focus in the right eye.
Re: Eye dominance
Left eye dominant, right handed. Shoot right handed all the time, but occasionally for practical shotgun I have to shoot left handed to make the shot, and tbh never really tried any amount of left handed shooting.
