Cross Dominant

[Whitwabit]

Am I the only one who shoots a pistol with both eyes open ??

I must be the odd one out but shoot with both eyes open and always have .. closing one eye you cut down on the peripheral vision on that side of the face in a SD situation I want all the side vision I can have in case there is a 2nd perp on that side .. !!

You must have missed these posts!

Thanks for the tips. Actually I've gotten used to shooting cross dominant. I use a modified isosceles stance, and I shoot with both eyes open, in which I automatically sight the pistol on the right (left eye). Long guns are a different story! I use my non-dominant eye for them, but, I don't shoot long guns very often. I'm not a marksman, but, I'm adequate enough

Same problems, same solutions!

Right eye dominant, shoot both handed, (required in training to qualify with right and left hands, issue and backup weapon). I shoot with both eyes open.

Even with both eyes open, you must focus on one of the guns in front of you. I sight the one on the right (left eye dominant)

I was right handed and right eye dominate. Lost the sight in my right eye . That left me with a working left eye only , when you only got one eye guess which one is dominant ...the one that works.
Now I'm right handed and left eye sighted...but I can still find a way to shoot.

The poll numbers surprised me ! There seem to be a lot more of cross dominant shooters out there than I imagined !

Me too!! I always thought I was in the minority group! So far, it appears I'm in the majority!

Right handed left eye dominant because of vision problems.
