Shooting advice

[Richard Ward]

Hi all

First post on the forum. I’m In the process of getting my SGC. I’ve had a safety session and some tuition at local shoots recently. 

Im just about right eye dominant, had success with closing the left and keeping both eyes open. 

However, when I keep both eyes open I get double vision of the barrels. I know I shouldn’t be looking at them but I cant help seeing it in my peripheral vision and it’s a bit off putting as I feel as if I have no sense of where the barrels are actually facing, but the clays do break! 

Should i keep persisting with both eyes eyes open or not? 

Any advice would be appreciated! 

Thanks 

R

If your right eye dominant and can shoot with both eyes I would stick with it. In time you will lose that double barrel sight that your getting and just concentrate on the clay.

It does sound as if your problem is focal length. Look ONLY at clay. NEVER gun.

Seeing two barrels in your peripheral vision is normal, nothing will change that..............now learning to only see the one that matters is the trick and will take a little time.

What Will and Hamster said. Hold anything close to your face, a finger or pencil for example and if your vision is normal (in other words not myopic) you'll see 2 images. As you get used to shooting clays your brain forgets to 'see' the double image of the barrels.

Hi

Make sure the stock is high enough if it’s too low could cause you to see two barrels

Thanks guys. I thought shooting and whiskey was frowned upon ?
