EdSolomons Posted December 17, 2012 Report Share Posted December 17, 2012 if you are early on in your career then switch to the shoulder to match youmaster eye. You will learn quick and in the long run you have the odds in your favour to become a genuinely good shot. One eye/squinting is limiting your development massively.

jackinbox99 Posted December 17, 2012 Report Share Posted December 17, 2012 I squint or close my left when shooting as im left eye dominant but right handed. Works great for me. Only draw back i find it that i have to be quick to get onto targets going left to right as I dont always pick them up until later. But i usually swing through them, get the lead then blast them. My clay scores tell me its working fine! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cumbrian top shot Posted December 20, 2012 Report Share Posted December 20, 2012 So its safe to say alot are infact shooting with one eye shut like me! I myself have always closed my left eye when shooting, whatever target/bird i'm shooting at I will always mount the gun tracking the bird with both eyes open then close my left eye, it works well for me,like said in previous posts on here whatever style you shoot stick with it if your happy.

dog tired Posted December 20, 2012 Report Share Posted December 20, 2012 I always close my left eye before a take the shot, then normally close both and shake my head after missing lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EdSolomons Posted December 20, 2012 Report Share Posted December 20, 2012 Lots use one eye, and is fine but will limit your progression in the long run... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enzonapoli1990 Posted January 11, 2013 Report Share Posted January 11, 2013 I shoot with the gun on my left shoulder and can only hit anything if my right eye is closed bit weird considering im right handed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goodo123 Posted January 11, 2013 Report Share Posted January 11, 2013 Always found eye dominance interesting, I'm right eye dominant and shoot right handed, maybe I should try shoot left handed to see what cross dominant is like, anyone tried this?
