The 'which hand' thread reminded me about this.
Most people use one eye far more than the other.
To find out which eye is stronger look at a fixed point about 10 feet away with both eyes open. Cover one eye without blinking. Did you have to move the eye to stay looking at the point?
Open both eyes again and the cover the other eye. Did you have to move that eye to see the point?
Whichever eye you have to move is the weaker one.
When you aim, you should keep both eyes open to stay aware of what is around you. Regardless of which hand you are, your gun or bow/arrow should be offered up to your stronger eye for aiming or you will struggle to aim correctly.
People with even eyes will tend to struggle to aim with both eyes open without getting double vision.
My left eye is stronger than my right eye, but I sight with my right.
What does than mean the right has been over used?
nothin moved does that mean im blind?
hmmm... will have to think.
Using the gun-principal, I have no conclusive result, tending to shoot from the hip
lp
i use me right eye as its stronger then me left as left eye is lazy lol
does the SA80(2) fire left handed? Yes if you want a hot casing in your face/right arm. Then again, I don't use them.
I know at least one weapon expels the casing straight down - making it ambidextrous (ambitriggerous?).
But most that eject send the casing out to the right - ahead of the right hand that's squeezing the trigger. If you gave to swap hands (in my case because I have to swap eyes) then you have to tuck your right arm right under the weapon to avoid the burn. It screws up your aiming if you aren't used to it. Firing left or right handed itself isn't hard - all you have to do is squeeze the trigger. So so long as you have a right hand, a left-hander firing right handed shouldn't have much of a problem - especially after training.
