[QUOTE="Hitokiri03, post: 1252382, member: 13562"] I, sadly, am cross dominant. I am right handed, but left eyed. I have tried shooting my friends' iron sighted ARs, but it takes me awhile to adjust. Since I am using a non-dominate eye when shooting them, as I cannot shoot with my left hand (I just can't get the gun to feel right), it takes me a little bit to get my aiming down for whatever distance we are shooting. However, once I have adjusted where I need to aim to offset the non-dominance issue, I outshoot my friends that own the guns. If I really want to become proficient with firearms, what exactly do I need to do? I am still relatively new to the world of firearms. I don't own a gun, but within the next month, I will be buying a Glock 17.:thumb: When I shoot a pistol, I usually have my right eye closed and I just use my dominant eye. Is that poor technique? I want to correct bad habits before they get TOO engrained.:smack: Also, whenever we are using my friend's scoped 30-06 bolt action to shoot coke cans at only 50 yards, I can never seem to hit them. I am using my right hand (dominant) and my right eye (nondominate). What should I change? Any help is appreciated. I love shooting and really want to get better at it. Thanks for your help gentlemen!:thanku: [/QUOTE]
