Outside the Comfort Zone
This month’s match will move you outside your comfort zone at the range.
You arrive at the range and set-up on your favorite lane. The target is out at a distance that you have tried many times. You know what to expect. You load the mag with a familiar click,click,click as each round slides into place. Your gun feels natural in your hand as you pick it up, slide the mag into place, rack the slide and raise it to sight onto the target. Breath, grip, stance, front sight focus, all as you’ve done thousands of times before. The sights line up and a gentle squeeze of the trigger sends your first round toward the target. Four more just like that and you are done for this months match entry.
WAIT! You are only half done!
Now you need to repeat this process using you WEAK HAND. “Not so toughâ€, I hear you say, but there is another twist. You must also use you WEAK EYE.
So, if you are a ‘normal’ shooter you are likely right handed and use your right eye to sight with. For the second target you must use your left hand and left eye to shoot the target.
If, for example, you are cross dominant (like I am) and shoot right handed but left eyed normally the second target must be shot left handed and right eyed.
