Cross Dominant Shooting
December 7th, 2007
Subject: Cross dominance
Dr. Piazza,
After reading your report, I wanted to comment and get your opinion. I am one of the remarkable 10% and am right handed with left eye dominance, but not by much. When shooting a rifle I can close my left
eye just enough to blur the vision and get a good sight picture with my right eye. However, when shooting a pistol, I will bring my gun up, focus on the sights and will usually be on target with my left eye, but
occasionally, I will notice that my right eye picks up the sights. It doesn’t seem to matter as far as shooting since I shoot where I aim, but would you recommend that I stick to one eye or the other, or continue to shoot with the eye that picks up the sights?I really appreciate what you are doing for the second amendment and for gun enthusiasts everywhere. I hope to get down to your training center in 2008 as I have a certificate for a free course, by linking to your
site. What a fantastic offer that I wouldn’t think of passing up! My pleasure to put your links on my site also.Again, thanks for all you do, and thanks for the gun training reports! Great information and I go back and re-read them frequently.

Thanks Mel.
Just keep doing what you are doing. You may want to squint your non-dominant eye when shooting the pistol to avoid any confusion in the brain as to which eye should be picking up the sights.
