Tugboat Posted November 14, 2017 Share Posted November 14, 2017 Any of ya'll gun people cross eye dominant shooters or whatevs? Is it hard to overcome? I know i'm at least a little bit cross-dominant. I'm Right Handed, but definitely a little bit Left Eye dominant. And do a lot of random things left-handed too. Any time i've done shooting though, a right handed grip/stance/position has always seemed natural to me though. Is that going to go really badly for me in trying to get good? I've heard of really awesome cross-dominant shooters...but they seem like the outlier or something. It's one thing that has always made me hesitant to spend the money to make shooting a big expensive hobby. If i'm going to either be awful, or have to awkwardly shooter off-handed or something. That would suck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am 100% right handed in everything else I do. First time I picked up a gun and put it up to my right shoulder and looked down the sights I was like “Well, that doesn’t work like the movie” flipped it to my left shoulder and quickly adjusted.

That would suck. It's not hard, but requires commitment and training. If you're shooting With a RDS, both eyes should be open anyway.

Inexpensive, reliable guns from what I remember. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve yet to find a gun be able to do everything it does, as easily as it does. For a ccw it doesn’t get any better imo. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
