We have taught many of people who only have 1 eye and they are able to shoot well because they are used to looking at the world with only one eye. You however, are used to looking at the world with both eyes and you are now giving your brain incorrect information on how to hit a small 4î disk at exactly the time when you are supposed to shoot it. This disk that is hard enough to see with both eyes, now you want to see it with only 1 eye. If you find the target with both eyes and then shut the eye, you have given the brain 2 different sight pictures. You have gone from seeing the target at a specific distance, speed and picture of the target, to after closing the eye, a picture that looks farther away, faster and smaller. Lets not make this any harder than it is. This causes doubt in your swing and prevents you from trusting your point. The only time dominance comes into play is when you look at the barrel. You should be looking at the target and inserting the barrel somewhere to the front of the targets flight path and pull the trigger as it hits your cheek. I used to shoot 1 eyed, as my left eye is so dominant. I now shoot right handed with both eyes open. People told me for years that I couldnÍt possibly do it, but because of the way the eyes work together after 12 yards it is possible. Think of it, if dominance made that much difference, you would not be able to ride a bike or drive a car. Your eyes work together so let them. Let them focus on the target and insert the gun somewhere in front and pull the trigger. Just like when you are driving a car and merging onto a freeway. How far in front? Far enough not to get smashed. You have a scattergun in your hands, let the computer brain figure out all the stuff. You just focus on the target. Not just the whole target, but the front edge. If you look at the whole target, then you will automatically look at the back, where the gun is going to go. Look at the front of the target, start to move with the speed of the target when you see it and insert the gun into the front of the target's path. I know this sounds too easy, but that is the way it works. Let it become natural and let the eyes and brain do all the work. Don't think. Just shoot. Don't look at the gun. You don't look at the front of the car when you are merging into traffic and you don't look at a tennis racquet when you are hitting the ball. In golf you don't look at the club -- you watch the ball. Look at the target and let the gun go where it wants. Remember, your instincts are always correct. Use them.
