Lets see what the majority of people are

[Huggyd]

Personally I'm right handed with the left eye dominate which I find a little strange being new to the sport but from what I'm reading on here it doesn't seem to be a big problem.

 

[PileBuck]

I am right handed, neither eye dominant. You forgot that one lol

I am Right Handed, Left Eye Dominate, and I think (my guess) you will find that will be the majority of those responding.

Interesting Poll

Right handed, right eye dominant but I use my left eye. My right eye is a bit screwed up.

 

[Teapot]

Left-handed/left eye dominant with a rifle but right-handed/left eye dominant with a pistol.

 

[Shooster]

Apparently, on average, the world's population is about 2/3rd's right eye dominant, the 1/3rd being left eye dominant.

thanks for the poll, i was thinking about asking that question myself!

im left handed, left eyed. but i occasionally shoot right handed, for practice, or by necessity, depending on the firearm. i usually shoot both eyes open, but when im shooting righty, i sometimes have to close my left eye to make my brain happy.

Right Handed, Right Eye Dominant

Thanks be, I've always been right/right, especially since I started shooring with my dad's 46B Mossie .22LR.

In my earlier years, my right eye tended to be far sighted compared to my left. Now, I need glasses for reading.

Those who are left handed with a right dominant eye have my sympathy. That's why we have pumpers, levers and semis.

And I must add, that I usually leave both eyes open when shooting game but not target.

I'm right-handed, but was recently told that I was forced to be so by my father at an early age. Which explains the following;

I shoot right-handed, using my right eye. But, I keep both eyes open while shooting.
Following recent experiences, I've discovered that I can shoot left handed with my left eye, and I seem to do it well enuf.

I'm right handed, and left eye dominant.

 

[westjet]

Im right handed/left eye dominate but shoot longguns as a southpaw.

 

[JeffJames]

Im left/left. Completely blind on my right eye, makes hunting more interesting!!

"...neither eye dominant..." One or the other is dominant.
Left eyed, right with a handgun, left with a long gun.
"...being new to the sport..." For single handed target shooting, head up, move your back leg to bring the sights over. Two handed shooting, keep both eyes open. Concentrate on the front sight with either.

 

[44fordy]

Right handed, but no dominate eye.

I shoot right, but can shoot left as well.

Sounds weird eh?

 

[BrotherRockeye]

I'm right handed with no dominant eye anymore...used to be right eye dominant...
no matter tho,I keep both eyes closed while shooting

 

[lucky72]

right / right for me.

 

[Jon.]

Right hand left eye. Which is going to be interesting for me. My restricted instructor said the last firearms instructor at Depot would prefer you shooting the side your dominant eye is on.

I don't want to practice too much because I know I'll just develop bad habits before I get out there.

Anybody have any suggestions or opinions?

 

[tjhaile]

I'm left handed and right eye dominant. I shoot right handed without any difficulties.
