Took my 9yr old son shooting yesterday discovered that he's cross eye dominant. It not a big deal as a lot of people shoot just fine this way. We had a great time. I'm not panicking, as he was able to hit his targets, but he was struggling with either shooting rifle weakside or with his weak eye. I kind of tried to leave it alone this session to see how he handled it on his own. I've been reading and watching some videos of cross eye dominant people talk about how they shoot. Most of it points to learning to shoot the rifle iron sights with the weak eye. More stability shooting strong side. And all that makes sense to me.
Pistol shooting was more straight forward. Basically turn your head a little to let the dominant eye do the work. Easy Peasy. I have a lightweight Ruger 22 to start that with a little later.
Any insight or experience from the Misfits?
