Hi all.
I have a friend who is starting to shoot pistols, and her problems have me
stumped.
Essentially, she's right handed and left eye dominant.
She started shooting hi-power rifle this time last year; her team mates
figured things out. She shoots from the right shoulder with an eye patch on
the left lens of her glasses, and does pretty well.
New Mexico, her state of residence, is about to legalize concealed carry;
qualification includes shooting at a B27 from various distances. It is
unlikely she'll be able to wear an eye patch.
As a pistol instructor, I took her shooting one afternoon to work on the
basics. The short version is that she can't shoot with both eyes open. She
shot pretty well with one eye shut, going slowly.
So -- how does a cross dominant person shoot a pistol properly??
