I would ask someone who understands eye dominance to check for you. Some opticians don't understand it and lots and lots of shooters don't. If you go to a ground for a lesson the very first thing, after safety, will be the check for eye dominance. If you don't get that checked you have a bad coach.If you don't want to see a coach, go to a ground that has some novice stands and pick yourself a simple going away target. Shoot 4 clays, with your left eye shut and then 4 clays with your right eye shut. It should be very obvious which of your eyes is dominant. If it isn't you could have central vision which is quite rare. Good luck. Then try to match your eye to your natural shooting shoulder, if it's both the same then that's good if not close the undominant eye just before taking the shot. From Auntie

Eye dominance does not come from your eye it comes from your brain. Lots of shooters believe that the eye which gives the best unaided (with glasses) vision is their dominant eye and in many cases it is wrong.Some people have central vision. Until I had the cataract removed from my right eye I was almost blind in this eye but it was still my dominant eye. If you have a dominant right eye it will be more sensable to shoot off your right shoulder and visa versa. If you are starting someone off shooting particularly someone that has not shot before it is advisable to start off using the correct eye shoulder matching as it is very difficult to swop shoulders once you have started.

In the 60s I worked on the M1 Toddington service area, every day 20 or 30 dormobiles disgorged their contents of gibbering smelly people onto the forecourt with filthy sheets and blankets holding all their possessions. The normal request then was, check ail, check ail no please or thank you.The dormobiles all had a central engine cover inbetween the front seats which you had to lift up to reveal the oil dipstick and oil filler. I had to tell my staff not to get into the vehicles in the end due to the ever present groping. This influx has been going on for decades and has nothing to do with Brexit.I will add another little tale ,I also worked at a garage on the pumps opposite the Bedford lorry factory on the Luton / Dunstable road, every day we put just enough Diesel in the tanks of at least 25 large trucks to get them to the docks. A delightful badge was on the front of all the trucks with PRESENTED BY THE BRITISH GOVERNMENT, made me feel sick. God knows what lucky country was receiving them but it is probably still going on now. From Auntie

Angela Rayner's Plans to get rid of Councils - What will that SAVE?

Confusion reigns, how come there are endless debates in parliament on things that get shelved or they run out of time, and something as serious as this get passed in the blink of an eye without debate. From Auntie -

25 years ago I had 3 Persian cats all males. This is a small tale of the black Persian. He was a stunning if a little sickly male all of his siblings had perished and left him the runt of the litter. He had ringworm when I first got him but turned into a very attractive copper eyed beauty. I had all 3 cats casterated as they were not to be bred from and were house cats.On one of my frequent trips abroad I took him to my mum's flat till I got back. On my return we noticed he had developed distended nipples and was producing milk.. I rang the vet and told him, he said he had never seen it before and had he not done the doctoring would have said he was female !!! We put it down, to him being distressed when I went away but it only happened the once.. From Auntie

EU and Uk leaders out of touch with public opinion. Time for a reset.

This country has a huge problem, most of it can be attributed to parent's who think their little darlings are so talented that nothing less than a brain surgeon or similar will be a good enough vocation which leaves a whole couple of generations with huge egos and entitlement off the scale. When I had my travel business I refused to employ anyone under the age of forty. We need parents to accept that if you have a thick kid sending it onto further education will not be the answer and all the while you are funding them you are a big part of the problem.. From Auntie
