Dominant eye issues - Page 2

A guy on youtube that goes by hickok45 shoots his pistols right handed using his left eye. He locks in his right arm straight and then when he looks down the sights he can use his left eye. I've tried his method and I can't seem to get it to work for me so I kept my original weaver stance. Look at some of his shooting videos on youtube and it might give you something else to try.

Yes, I have seens his vids. He is a damn good shot! He uses a modified weaver. I was not aware he was left eye dom. Maybe I will shot him an email (no pun intended)!

Thanks for your input and help.

For me closing my right eye works wonders.

On pistol, I did not have to change anything about my grip.

On long arms, I am learning to shoot lefty. Shotgun accuracy went way up!

I am left eye dom. I shoot rifles and shotguns left handed as well as when i shoot pool. I use my right hand when i shoot pistol's I have tried closing each eye and with both eyes open. I am a much better shot using my left eye open and moving my grip to the left with a lot of practice i can hit my target 100% of the time this way.
