20 years of going to pistol and rifle ranges. I am right handed and learned to shoot with my right eye (left closed). An instructor got me to transition to both eyes open and my aim went in the toilet. I finally discovered I am left eye dominant. It’s been about six month and my brain still wants to flip back to the right eye picture it was used to for so many years but it’s getting better

You can use a small washer for a nut & bolt to look through. Look at the top of a telephone pole, and bring the washer back to your eye. Did this several years ago to find I was right-handed, left-eye dominant. My mom told me when I was little, my dad would make me use my right hand and so this I learned. But still shoot pistol with my left eye.

Once I’m able to shoot a pistol w/ both eyes open w/out seeing double will I be able to shoot a rifle w/ both eyes open also?

Please don't mind my name, it is for privacy and viewing and commenting . Laser training I am also cross eye dominant, using both eyes open. One good way to practice is using a laser training cartridge to practice fundamentals. Also practice in the dark with a dim light in front of you and no light behind you so you can't see your sights. This way you train your proper fundamentals and poster to engage the target with the laser cartridge. Then turn your lights on and off. The purpose of this is to stay focused on the target and not have to worry about sight alignment. Once it becomes a skill, the sights on the sidearm will be in the way. I am also a Geauga resident and if the academy would like me to come in to explain the skill , feel free to contact me. Remember: SAFETY FIRST!!!

I’m right eye dominant. But, I wear contact lenses most of the time. A distance contact in my right eye and a close up in my left. So I’ve been training by shooting with both eyes open for a while because, obviously, if I close my left eye the the sights become blurred but the target is clear. Shooting with both eyes open just brings everything into focus.

Always great info from GFA. Always. This method DOES NOT work for folks who wear prescription glasses with bifocal lenses. Once we find the front sight, then we must focus on it by pushing our heads back to the really focus on the front sight with our glasses. This adds time to presenting the gun, finding the front sight, finding the target, head back to focus on front sight and then, if need be, pulling the trigger. Your method works great with folks who have great vision but not so much for us who struggle with progressive lenses and the like. I watch every video you two produce and recommend your channel. Just so you know.

I come from a law enforcement background & never understood the eye dominance test because I couldn't get it to work. Consequently, I learned to keep both eyes open on the range (which caused me to see two guns when focusing on the target) and aim with the gun to the left. I was always a consistent top gun shooter with mostly perfect scores. Years later I learned about "mixed ocular dominance" which means your eyes are equally dominant, which is why the dominance test never worked for me. Anytime I tried to explain my aiming style to my instructors they would just look confused.
