Dominant Eye

[PRDATR]

Well Catfish brought up a point on it replying to the post by Kellanramirez. So how many of you shoot from the opposite side of eye dominance? I got my first bow, a red and white 25# fiberglass bow when I was 12. It was a few years before compound bows came out. Being right handed and shooting instinctively for the next 25 years it never seemed to hold me back.

And shooting with sights for the following 35+ years I don't feel hindered.

So you are right handed but left eye dominant? My youngest is that way. He shoots a rh rifle but left handed.

That's my situation.  I close my left eye and shoot right handed

CFK, Yes.  My brain must just compensate for it. I have always shot rifles right handed too and have taken tons of coyotes and other animals and shot High Power Rifle Silhouette very effectively. 

Never missed a big game animal or had to take a second shot.

I am left eye dominant and shoot right. The Army tried to make me shoot left but I just learned to switch eyes when they checked. I can shoot lefty though no problem with rifles. Pistols I have to close my left eye or cock my head to the right and shoot with the left.

I'm also left eye dominate and shoot right. As a child it was much more natural feeling to shoot left but my father made me shoot right. Guess he didn't want to buy left-handed shotguns.

My wife is like that and I have to buy LH rifles

I am left eye dominant,shoot a right handed rifle left handed, and shoot a right handed bow

I am right handed but left eye dominant as well.  I have left and right handed guns but always shoot left handed regardless of where the bolt is.  Never seems to be a problem for me.

Wow!   I've probably missed more animals than 75 percent of the people on here combined,  before I figured out what to do.
