This is weird. Yeah I'm gonna have to see the eye doctor, but otherwise I have no vision problems or changes to report (minor known astigmatism aside, no glasses, vision normal or a little better when tested last, still seems as such).. I still think my vision is a little better with my left eye even (reportedly was 25/20 left and 20/20 right last test, albeit a few years ago).
Always have been cross dominant. I shoot right handed, close left eye for iron sight rifles, and with magnification - red dots, 1x stuff, both eyes and right. Pistols I learned in my teens (am 43 now) to shoot right handed, left eyed, both open, and always have been kinda OK w/ landing shots on target with pistols, not an outstanding shooter or anything just naturally OK at it with minimal practice (versus rifles where if I'm on my feet and without my upper body planted to the ground, the muscles involved make me perpetually moving and naturally inclined to suck, the heavier the rifle the worse it is).
Well about 2 months ago something happened where I'd been off from shooting for a bit and when I got back around to it I found I'm placing all my shots way left. So I start shooting pistols a lot more, working on mechanics. It helps some, but still favoring it - never had this problem before. Seriously been kinda perplexed, at the point where I think it's time to seek professional help and literally have been trying to make sure nobody sees my used targets and stuff. During this time, frustrated, screwing around (tried all sorts of stuff to throw myself off and reset), I noted if I shoot right eyed, closed left, the problem is basically gone - probably should've concentrated on that odd fact but wrote it off as it's impertinent and that I need to be able to shoot a pistol with both eyes open.
Today I was screwing around with scopes. I realized I could keep both eyes open, using my right eye, with magnification - this is 100% new. I checked and I'm now clearly right eye dominant with the various tests, ie close left eye and no change to what I'm sighting up, close right eye and things shift. Pulling out a pistol, with a little work, I can keep both eyes open using my right but it's very clumsy - kinda have to trick my eyes for a second, close or squint my left then re-open it and I can stay focused on the sight/target via right, but I'm all out of sorts - automatically I draw/sight with my left eye and then I need to screw around to get on target via right, but I do feel I can practice that out pretty quick.
Has anyone ever experienced this? I haven't had a chance to go shoot pistols right eyed, will go do that soon. Does missing always to the left, being right eye dominant but using my left eye, make any sense (I can't figure out how it makes any sense honestly but something is going on here) ?
