wingnut Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 Not sure where to post this but here it goes. While practicing both eyes open I noticed my POI was off to the right. And when I closed my left eye I was dead on. I am right eye dominant. Any idea? I do use my distance lens in my left eye and nothing in the right so I can see the front sight. I never shot with both eyes open just started practicing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stick Posted January 3, 2018 Share Posted January 3, 2018 Have you tried putting a small piece of tape over your left eye until you get used to shooting both eyes open? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eric.goodwin.376 Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 I have very close dominance in both eyes and I run into problems my groups will change on everything I shoot if I shoot both open then just one. Even my bow I shoot both open and just sight In with both open. Make sure you always keep them both open though. My old lady is right handed left eye dominant and she shoots about 3 foot to the left every time if they are both open Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enzo357 Posted January 7, 2018 Share Posted January 7, 2018 I used the chapstick method. Eventually the dot on my glasses got really small. Now I do not use at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am right eye dominant. Might be wrong (once in 1983), but sounds to me like you are actually left eye dominant. With both eyes open, bullets are going where your left eye is pointing, not your right eye. If you want to shoot both eyes open, sight the gun in with both eyes open ....

Snowb1rd Posted January 7, 2018 Share Posted January 7, 2018 i second the tape trick over the left eye glass. Has been working well for me so far Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thatsme Posted January 7, 2018 Share Posted January 7, 2018 use the chapstick method. dab some chapstick on the left lens of your glasses so that it isn't clear through your left eye. that will force your right eye to do more of the work when both eyes are open. then use less and less until you don't need it at all.

Treeclmbr Posted February 6, 2018 Share Posted February 6, 2018 With both eyes oped i get 2 blurry front sights. Am left eye dominate. Started taping left eye to learn to keep both eyes open. Whats interesting is i have to move rear sight to the right, past center of gun, to sight it in. I have to do this to all my handguns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
