Eye-Dominance Issue

Potential Solution

Advantages

Disadvantages

Absolute Cross Dominance

Switch Shoulders

Offers 100% binocular vision

Often requires a great deal of practice and commitment

Place Block on Glasses

Works for most shooters

Shooter never gains 100%
binocular vision

Close off-eye just
before firing at target

Offers 100% binocular vision until the time the shot is taken

Visually confusing for most
shooters

Close off-eye prior to calling for the target

Easy for most shooters

Will only have 50% of vision working at any given time

Shoot a gun with a crossover stock

Offers 100% binocular vision while shooting from shoulder opposite dominant eye

Crossover stocks cause excessive recoil, and are not frequently
available

Partial Cross Dominance such as left or right-central vision

Place Block on Glasses

A very small block on glasses is usually sufficient for
partially cross-dominant shooters

Small blocks are not always
effective on variable targets such as on sporting clays and
sometimes larger blocks are
required

Close off-eye just
before firing at target

Partial cross-dominant
shooters may only need to do this on certain targets

Visually confusing for most
shooters

Close off-eye prior to calling for the target

Easy for most shooters

Will only have 50% of vision working at any given time

Central Vision

Do not use correction and shoot with both eyes open

Sometimes correction is not needed

Certain targets may be
problematic
