Determine your dominant eye.

I'm cross-dominant, meaning my dominant hand and eye are on opposite sides of the body. I'm right handed but left eye dominant. I do pretty much everything right handed except shooting my airsoft gun; in order to aim down the sights with my left eye, I need to shoot left handed. I can shoot while aiming with my right eye open and left eye closed, but it's somewhat uncomfortable.

Any other cross dominant people here?

I'm right handed and I guess I'm right eye dominant since I need a stronger prescription for my left eye on my glasses.

Maybe not dominant, but a less crappy eye.

Right-handed, right eye dominant. Actually gives me trouble when I shoot because I have a tendency to close my right eye instead of my left.

That's a pretty crummy test when it comes to determining eye dominance. Do everything like they say, extend your arms out while making a triangle with your forefinger and thumb but instead of doing everything else just slowly bring the triangle back towards your face. Whichever eye the triangle covers is your dominant eye.

Left-footed, left-handed, and left-eyed.

Well, it is wikiHow. You can't be surprised if it's crappy. :P

@gamerguru100: This is true, I don't know what I was thinking.

Both of the methods had the same result :)

Right eye.

I'm right handed, right eyed dominant but I train myself to use my left hand and eye just in case something ever happens to my right. Hell, since I've been using it for so long, I might be more efficient at some things using my left hand than I am with my right...

I'm right/right. @gamerguru100, it's just a matter of training. My brother-in-law's the same way. The first time he went to the range with me, he was baffled as to why his shots were way off. We did method 2 on the site you linked and discovered he was cross-dominant. After a couple magazines, he was a-ok. Heck, he even shoots IDPA now.

So keep practicing. Before long, it will become a non-issue.

Keep in mind I'm only target shooting with an airsoft gun, and not a real gun, so cross dominance isn't that big of a deal. I can shoot it just fine right eyed, but only for a bit since it strains my left eye when it's closed. I won't have to worry about trying to make my right eye equal to my left unless I get drafted into a war or something. :P

Fine, be like that - see if I care.

LMAO, dude, it's just a bit of reading and using your hands to figure out your dominant eye. You're not gonna die if you take it.
