WGD Posted June 17, 2008 Report Share Posted June 17, 2008 As the title says, how do you do it? At my first clay lesson the coach had me doing something with my finger pointed and left/right eye shut to check for eye dominance but I can't remember exactly how he did it to check eye dominance.

LXX73 Posted June 17, 2008 Report Share Posted June 17, 2008 Think this is how it goes. Point at an object in the distance, close your right eye and see if finger stays on the object. Next close your left eye, if your finger moves off the object your left eye dominant. This is how it was explained to me when I was told I was a boz eyed gimp anyway!

MJN Posted June 17, 2008 Report Share Posted June 17, 2008 (edited) In Short, With a finger point at something, then close your left eye and see if your finger is still pointing at the object , if it is then you have right eye dominance, (good for right hand shooters), if it isn't then you have left eye dominance (bad for righties good for lefties) repeat the exercise closing the right eye and your finger should miss the target for righties but still be in line for lefties.

Maiden22 Posted June 17, 2008 Report Share Posted June 17, 2008 As above, but hold something (tube from inside lavatory roll etc) and look through it. Robert Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr W Posted June 17, 2008 Report Share Posted June 17, 2008 I ended up quite severe left eye dominant and then decided to learn from the left shoulder as I hadn't done that much off the right, not as difficult as I thougth swapping over, still can't hit **** Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WGD Posted June 17, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 17, 2008 thanks, knew it was something like that. that gives me a problem, i shoot from my right shoulder and i have right eye dominance which means that is one excuse less and my shooting is just **** WGD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taggy Posted June 17, 2008 Report Share Posted June 17, 2008 make a triangle with your hands with arms in front of you, look through the triangle and bring it to your face. you should naturally bring the triangle to your dominant eye.
