Al Bundy Posted November 30, 2016 Share Posted November 30, 2016 Why is this important? I shoot left handed with a right eye dominant. Anyone else out there shoot this way? I started reading and the "experts" on the internet say I should have been shooting right handed all this time. Also read I should not be closing one eye wing shooting for waterfowl. I usually end up knocking something out of the sky and am a pretty good shot. I wonder if my eyes got messed up recently. Left eye was really weak. What to do.

Culvercreek hunt club Posted November 30, 2016 Share Posted November 30, 2016 Well I am VERY left eye dominant and shoot right handed so I feel your pain. On the wingshooting. wear glasses. even shooting glasses if you don't wear prescription. I put a small static black dot on my left lens that blocks the straight line of sight for my left eye but I don't lose any peripheral vision. you would put in on your right eye. I think the dot is about 1/4" in diameter. Try it out shootign some skeet and see how it works for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ATbuckhunter Posted November 30, 2016 Share Posted November 30, 2016 I also shoot right handed while my left eye is dominant. I don't hunt birds so im not sure if that'll impact wing shooting, but my accuracy with a rifle hasn't been impacted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nomad Posted November 30, 2016 Share Posted November 30, 2016 I'm right handed and was right eye dominate , but my right eye got very weak so,I switched to,left hand shooting . Then after LASIK I became left eye dominate , so that worked out nice , only my right eye also became 20/20 ..... I've never had an issue long gun or handgun ( I shoot way more handguns) . Leo Major was a sniper and general bad ass in WW II , he lost an eye and kept on killing the enemy just fine . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
