Guest The Outlaw Posted December 11, 2007 Report Share Posted December 11, 2007 I have checked and have the long 2.5 diameter, the diameter is important as it helps to prevent the non master eye from seeing it. If you are a new shooter it could be easier to swap shoulders, I can shoot from both luckily. However it would be more cost effective to try a bead of any sort before you change the cast of your gun and swap shoulders. For the sake of £30 max you could sort it out.

Tony - surely you mean 'it helps the master eye from seeing it' Or am I just being daft again? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest The Outlaw Posted December 11, 2007 Report Share Posted December 11, 2007 Hi Oly yes you are being daft again If the bead is bigger, the non master eye could pick it up easier because it is bigger causing central vision. So the smaller the diameter the bead the better for the master eye only. Oly you ust have eyes that are too close together mate Tony Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mmaguire Posted December 24, 2007 Report Share Posted December 24, 2007 being left handed and right eyed has given me the same problem in reverse. first tried closing the right eye as the gun came up -worked but couldn't always rememebr to do this on certain crossers. finally had a blurred spot ground into the right lens of an old pair of glasses - done by an optician so its directly over the pupil. Now as the gun comes up the brain is made to use the left eye as the right eye doesn't have a clear picture. result - scores doubled in a matter of weeks didn't try the various sight devices as I felt this would make me look at the end of the barrel Some shooters have used a spot of sellotape instead of grinding the lens till the right spot is found - it needs to be where your pupil will be when the gun is up. cheers Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamC Posted December 24, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 24, 2007 I actually ended up purchasing an easyhit, but yet to try it out. Hoping I will on Boxing day. I too am worried I might end up bead watching, but whilst my eye dominence issue is quite severe, I am begining to be able to choose between the two different images my eyes see. It is harD to explain, but if I know what I am looking for (when doing something like the CD test) I can force myself to see the sighted image, although it is had woark and can make my eyes and head hurt. With the easyhit in place, it makes this process much easier. I have noticed that by just looking where I want to shoot, the gun ends up pointing in the right direction. I hope that this combined with the easyhit and my will power, I should be able to hit some clays. I have never shot a full round of sporting, just had lessons and shots at the odd targets around clubs and shoots, so not really got a bench mark to compare against, but will post my first score card results for you all to see (laugh at).

Adam C - you have exactly the same "issue" as I do. However, my advice is now simple [after receiving 30+ positive comments from the guys on PW]....... get the easy hit bead onto the barrels!!!!! When you mount your gun, you see the flourescent orange circle - awesome! shoot your target...... watch the TARGET, ignore the barrells and the bead... it'll come! Just watch the target and let the magic bead sort your brain out by switching your eyes for you automatically! The one thing the easyhit can do is BREED CONFIDENCE ! Once the confidence is there then the mad eye issues suddenly decrease or if you are really lucky, disappear! Be confident in the bead but just try to ignore it..... trust me, once you successfully powder a clay with it then you soon stop looking at it and keep looking for the powder! [or the dropping pigeon from the sky!] Good luck, be confident and go-kick-a55! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamC Posted December 26, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 26, 2007 Well had my first proper round of 50 sporting today. Also first proper outing with the new gun and Easy Hit and shooting both eyes open. It took some adjusting, but was begining to feel more confident towards the final stands. I shot a 19x50, which isn't great, but I was pleased with it given my lack of experience and prolonged outage, and something I can improve on. The old man did a 27x50 and he has not shot a proper round of sporting for some years. The easyhit definatly seemed to work, as before I would hit nothing with both eyes fully open. I just need to get some more practice in, so got a 70 sporting on Sunday and will see if I cannot get a bit closer to the old mans score!

deadeye ive Posted December 26, 2007 Report Share Posted December 26, 2007 Adam I haven't trawled through this thread so apologies if this post is somewhat repetetive . I have a really dominant left eye and shoot right handed and I have tried the following 1,Easy hit 2,left eye shut 3,patch on left eye of safety glasses 4,Both eyes open then shutting the left at the last second etc etc !! Nothing worked in the long term .OK because it was strange I had some early success with the above remedies but after a bit I reverted back to where I was . My most successful clay outing's have resulted from total frustration and shooting aggressively with both eye's open and no aides .However I still have issues but on averaging a 100 clays per month I ain't going to cure them over night .Being 24p per clay and 15p per shell does not help either . There is no substitute for mounting the gun in front of a mirror ,practice this until your arms are dropping off and when your confident those barrels are pointing where your looking try it out in the field .The reality is you should'nt see the barrels in your sight picture Very best of luck To quote George Digweed : I just shoot at the bloody thing!
