Thread: Basic but not always known.

@Bill999 I witnessed some odd ball behaviour over the weekend.
My Sister is Right handed, she was using my Right handed CZ, however, she was unable to shoot anything using her right eye, the minute she cocked her head over further and started using her left eye, she was shooting lids off bottles between 30-60m every time!

Yip cross eyed dominance, It's more common than you think.
I am and only found out for sure when I got lasik eye surgery. On of the tests they do is to find your dominant eye, I had this corrected for distance and my right eye left alone so I can read without glasses.
I always wondered why had had to tilt my head over a weird angle. Since having this done I have taught myself to shoot left-handed and have brought a LH rifle.
I see it quite often at the range with new shooters, the easiest way to get them shooting ok is to give them a pair of saftey glasses with the left eye blacked out forcing them to use the right eye.
