tlennox Posted February 4, 2013 Report Share Posted February 4, 2013 Having a real problem shooting anything right to left. I'm left eye dominant but right handed and I think this is where the problem lies. I shot a round of 60 sporting on Sunday morning and missed everything right to left. I've just got no confidence on them, missed plenty of game during the season right to left, please HELP! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scully Posted February 4, 2013 Report Share Posted February 4, 2013 (edited) A good coach can help.Have you considered a couple of lessons? My nephew is the same,and at Young Shots days the BASC coaches all advised him to pick up the birds/clays with both eyes open,then shut his left as he brings the gun to his shoulder to shoot.It works well for him.You MUST maintain hard focus on the target at all times though,and not be distracted by the gun muzzles suddenly appearing in your peripheral vision when you shut your left eye,so in order to do this your gun must fit reasonably well and your mount must be consistently correct. Give it a go;you've nothing to lose. Edited February 4, 2013 by Scully Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Livefast123 Posted February 5, 2013 Report Share Posted February 5, 2013 It just takes practice, I'm left eye dominent and right handed and was even considering shooting left hand as I was so bad. I then found a gun that fitted properly and was told to keep both eyes open to spot the bird then close the left eye as I bring the barrels to the bird. A year on and it works for me pretty well, if I miss now I know it's not down to the eye issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tlennox Posted February 5, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 5, 2013 I'll give these suggestions a go, been shooting for over 20 years now and the problem seems to have gotten worse over the past year. Maybe I need to get out shooting more, good excuse anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
throdgrain Posted February 9, 2013 Report Share Posted February 9, 2013 I'm left handed and right eye dominant, I always have a easyhit sight on the end of my barrel. You have to look "through" the sight, so it keeps you looking in the right place. Works very well for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ozzy518 Posted February 9, 2013 Report Share Posted February 9, 2013 Try not to get hung up on eye dominance. Probably half your problem with those crossers is that you have subconsciously conditioned yourself to miss. Try to keep both eyes open, or squint one slightly, but just look at the target. Ignore the barrels and bead. Keep on at it on the clay range . You will seem be dusting them. Look online at Mike ***********s move mount shoot system. Once you get past the annoying puuuulllll a lot of what he says makes sense Why does the swear filter not like " yard ley" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
