Sorry if this has been covered or if posted in the wrong section. If so; please move as necessary.
I was reading an article online about eye dominance and hand dominance. I did the little test that it explained which eye i was dominant in. It turns out that i am left eye and right hand dominant. After reading that and some of the issues that can be caused by that combo- i grabbed my (unloaded) edc and practiced some quick unholstering and ads. i found that i naturally try to use my right eye to ads and have a tougher time trying to line the sights up. If i go a little slower and go to my dominant left eye i am able to get my sight picture quicker. Under pressure i dont know what my natural reaction would be and that makes me worry.
The reason i put this thread in "training" is: is there a way that i can get more proficient in right eye to ads or should i focus on staying left eye and using my natural dominant eye? Is there any specific training i should seek out or can research that will help me?
I never really paid attention to left or right eye until i read that article and i started thinking about it and realized that with a weapon shouldered i use right eye and maybe thats why i automatically go to right eye when i ads with my edc. Once I try to get my sight picture i switch to my left eye. It maybe takes a millisecond but i do it unknowingly.
If anyone has this issue or knows if it really is an issue or just me overthinking; please let me know. Next time i go to the range i am going to focus on my eye dominance and see how it really affects ads and accuracy.
Thanks for any feedback and guidance.
