OOPS!
« on: March 24, 2010, 02:41:09 PM »
All these years since I started shooting again, I have blamed my poor shooting on the eye dominance thing...Including my missed deer, 2 yrs ago....
I have to face the fact that I just need more practice...I shoot right handed and just did an eye dominance test(4 times) and found that I am right eye dominant.

NO MORE EXCUSES...

Shooting is a perishable skill.
Use it or loose it.
Even if it is a pellet gun in the back yard.
Sight allignment, trigger squeeze, and breathing are the same for BB, rimfire and center fire.

ive found practice practice, but also a lot of things comes into  it too , such as your mind set you cant be  trying do everything in your head like the family budget , next weeks work load  etc etc etc and still shoot well , you have to keep it focused on shooting, plus as ive found out over the years youth and younger bodies help hahahaha and old eyes suck! ahhahahaha
