Regular or Cross Dominance..
Alright guys....here is the deal.
The pistol has always been a tertiary weapon system for me entire career, its been nothing more than a if the SHTF sort thing. By thus, I am not the best pistol marksman, and am a far better rifle marksman...
herein lay my issue, and reason for posting....
I know fundamentally, I should be shooting both eyes open, I haven't been doing so with pistols...let the flaming begin...however..
I shoot both eyed with rifles, so, I'm trying to get back into that habit as the rifle is no longer my primary weapon system as I have retired from duty and now its time to live a "normal" life.
regardless, here is my issue.
I wear Corrective lenses, and no, I dont know what my script is, but nonetheless I am near sighted..for those who dont know, dont care, or dont need glasses, it means I can see close up without any issues, and I have a problem seeing clearly at distances.
Well, I am barely near sighted, people with normal vision can wear my glasses without issues and think they're not even prescription, people with poor vision thing my glasses dont do shit either so..I dont REALLY have BAD eyes, they're just not what they used to be...
Driving on, While attempting to see which eye was dominant by forming a small orifice with my handles and focusing on an object roughly 12-15ft away and bringing that orifice to my eye to determine dominance, I'm finding that I am Right HANDED, and LEFT eye Dominant.
I have tried this with and without my corrective lenses and its extremely difficult to tell which is the case..
I'm trying to figure out if my RIGHT eye requires more correction to see clearly, and its not that Im left eye dominant, its just that my right eye cant see as far as clearly....or that I really am one poor mother fucker who is Right Handed, and Left eye Dominant....These poor bastards we call "Cross Dominant"
As far as application goes, I have found that regardless of corrective lenses, at the range I find my shots pull left, not high left, or low left...just left. My groups look great, but they're all left my point of aim.
I'm wondering if this is due to my cross eye dominance, or it's all in my head and Im just thinking too much into it...
So, if anyone can shed some light or give me an idea or anything, in regards to this subject and how to more effectively check my dominance, that would be great...
Tomorrow is range day, so instead of turning my head, or tilting/rolling my head to shoot left eyed and right handed...I'm just going to adjust my holstered draw to put the gun behind my left eye instead of right..
Draw from holster, bring to the compressed ready, Move over to the left side of my chest, and punch out as normal, but to my left side...see if the range will answer my question for me...
Until then,
Thanks a lot!!
