Kash Posted October 24, 2016 Share Posted October 24, 2016 Basically, im significantly left eyed dominant but im right handed so its a right pain seeing down sights without closing an eye which isn't great. Figured this out when I shot clays a while back As im about to try get into airsofting, was just wondering, should I learn to rifle left handed or what? Any thoughts appreciated.

EvilMonkee Posted October 24, 2016 Share Posted October 24, 2016 I am the same. To be honest at the range airsoft is played its not really an issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supporters Shizbazki Posted October 24, 2016 Supporters Share Posted October 24, 2016 Most people just watch where their BBS are going and adjust accordingly. Alternatively you could use a holosight (dunno if this applies to clones) which you should use both eyes open. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest PT247 Posted October 24, 2016 Share Posted October 24, 2016 I am left handed but right eye dominant, having learnt to shoot on SA80's in my RN career I had to get used to shooting right handed, in airsoft I shoot ambidextrously with no issues unless using a gun that is not suitable for ambi shooting. I think you can program your brain to do what you need it to do, it may sound an odd comparison but I use a left handed mouse on both my PCs at home yet a right handed one at work with no issues. You'll get used to swapping sides as and whenever you need to in airsoft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kash Posted October 24, 2016 Author Share Posted October 24, 2016 Fair enough With the bb tracing makes sense With regards to the both eyes open, thats what I do, which is what makes it hard. I only see the image from my left eye.. So I see the side of my gun not the sights Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've got a lazy eye and cross dominance and I can still ADS with both eyes (though my right eyesight is too poor). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kash Posted October 24, 2016 Author Share Posted October 24, 2016 Well, slight exaggeration, the left eye takes control, right eyes always been lazy. Works fine when I close the other.. Just really lazy. Has been for about 20 years Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
