Cross eye dominant fix

Last week I stumbled upon a way for me to deal with cross eye dominance. I am 65 and left handed and been shooting for about 4 years now. K80 I tried to block one eye.......I tried the pipe sight........right eye vision blocker......all to no good. I continued to miss the straight aways......constantly. Really irritating! Need to have both eyes on the target.

The big light bulb moment was when I tried to hold off to the right side of the house on station #3. Did not miss any of the straight aways. So I decided to try something that Nora Ross had me do and that was to hold on the opposite side of the trap on station #1.......the right side of the house. This would make me swing the entire distance to get a left thrown target. The amazing thing was that I did not miss. So I tried that same scenario for each station. Holding off hard right so that the barrel blinded my right eye from seeing the target first ......allowing my left eye to lock on to the target right out of the house. I tried this again today and shot a 95 without a whole lot of trouble. This is the big fix for me to beat the cross eye dominance issue.

Nora Ross was doing this odd exercise to teach us doubles shooting. Also to prove that the gun will follow your eyes.

Hope this works for you.

Oddly enough, I've done a version of that for years. On Handicap on station 5, I would hold off the right side of the house about 5 feet and level gun. Holding that position, I then moved both eyes over to right center of the house. It is as if your almost trapping the hard rights and smoking them extremely fast. Then all other shots are to left. Secret is not to rush the almost straight away going to the left. But it does show you that your gun does go to where your looking.

 

Was Nora suggesting you shoot like that or was it a training exercise?

 

Its a training exercise, she does it @ all of her clinics
