This video covers techniques to help cross eye dominant shooters. This one will also be helpful if you end up helping a cross dominant shooter at the range. Also useful if, heaven forbid, you ever lose the use of your dominant eye.

I just took my daughter to the range yesterday for her first handgun shoot! She was getting bored with the 10-22🤣. She was holding her hear to the side…lefty and using her right eye Since she only has one day with a handgun, should I continue with her shooting right handed to match her dominant eye? Thanks in advance!!

2024-05-24 17:17:09 +0000 UTCHey Shawn, just upgraded to see these videos. I'm getting my first AR (ambi) next week and am L eye + R handed. Was planning to try to learn to shoot left handed. First in the video you say to learn opposite hand, but then you said you went back to dominant hand, because you couldn't "keep up". 1. Would you still recommend a civilian stick with non-dominant hand because we will never have to be as fast as a SEAL in CQB? Does use of EOTech or Red dot instead of Irons change your opinion? 2. I have been shooting pistol right handed with canted head like you show here. John Lovell said same thing. Since I'm relatively new, should I try to shoot pistol left handed also or stick with the head cant? 3. Got a Sig MPX (with red dot) for HD on your rec. Should that be left handed too? Thanks so much. Loved the interviews with DJ Shipley, Rob O'Neil, Eddie Penney and especially Nick Frietas. Hope that guy becomes our President Thank you for all your contributions to this great country. Hope I get a chance to shake your hand one day.

2023-08-25 15:56:32 +0000 UTCThis video is helpful, I’m a lefty right eye dominant.. but in the Marine Corps shooting a riffle I just shot right handed.. still do to this day… I always wondered if I should have just done something more like this and shoot lefty giving me more precise control over the trigger… I’m working on pistol shooting self teaching through tutorials.. it’s a slow process but it works fine lol this video is really intriguing

2022-07-24 18:43:58 +0000 UTCI’m going through the pistol fundamentals videos again. I’ve come a long ways in the last couple years since first watching this video. I don’t even notice the left eye dominance issue anymore. I went from missing to hitting in just a few mags. Also I’ve helped other people correct this issue. Good stuff.
