aim

Post by ericlw »

Alright, I have a wierd situation i found.

I am left handed left eye dominat.ive always shooted lefty and did pretty good.Well just for fun I decided to try right hand shooting.I found I am way more accurate with my right hand and left eye aim.This seems strange to me unless my left hand I have some bad habit.

You are probably paying more attention to what you are doing. Are you sure you are left eye dominant?

I was going to ask the same thing about your eye dominance. Have you ever tested it?

I am left eye dominant, but right handed. I have tried shooting left eye on a right handed stance and it didn't work for me. I either have to shoot left handed or right handed with my weaker eye.

^ this. I line up over my left eye. With rifles and carbines, I've been through enough training to train up my right eye to work with reflex sights and other bi-occular sight systems.

I'm left eye dominate and I shoot right handed. I keep both eyes open and tilt my head right like a confused puppy.
