Hi!
I'm a relatively new shooter (6months). Been taking classes and practicing at the range. Each week I work on different skills and different distances. My shot placement has been getting progressively better, thought I'd still have some shots at 7-8 o'clock.
I'm cross dominant, right handed, left eye. Up to now, I usd a isosceles arm position, with feet even, and close my right eye. On the last range trip, I decided to try using both eyes. I've tried before and just didn't have success. Either double vision, or I'd have to cant the gun, but nevertheless, my shot placement was horrible.
However, I read a book that suggested using both eyes, but turning my head a bit, instead of tilting my head or canting the gun. It also mentioned moving my right foot back a bit, so that it was a step behind the left.
I gave it a whirl. At times, I neede to squint my right eye for a second to help (and then unsquint to shoot). My shots were way better than other attempts at using both eyes, but, ALL of the shots were between 2-4 o'clock (at varying distances from the bulleye, but none to the left of the bullseye).
So, I was wondering what is happening? Am I possibly turning my hips some, or doing something that is changing the sight alignment/picture?
Thanks!
