Hey guys I've started getting into trap shooting a little more seriously, but I am left eye dominant and right handed. All the guys at my feild say you need to use both eyes but I can't get the bead into view with both eyes.
Should I learn to shoot lefty or is there any vision tricks to get your non dominant eye to focus?
For now I've been just closing my left eye but it strains me because I suck at winking which hurts my focus. Should I wear an eye patch or some shit?
Anyone with any advise would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks /k/!

I learned to shoot switch on both hands. Im right handed with writing and everything else but because my first rifle was a left flintlock I taught myself to shoot switch. Itll take a couple of months but you can practice the movements at home and its not to hard. I shot 27/40 at a senpai fire with the nat/guard left handed which qualifies but nothing special.

Your trap shouldn't care which eye is dominant, as long as YOU are dominant.
In trap, you use the bead/rib to mount the gun properly and consistently, but most of your focus should be on the clay.

Learn to shoot left handed or put a piece of tape over your left eye on your eye protection.

Why do you have to keep both eyes open

God damnit, /k/
Ideal: Change ocular dominance by wearing an eye patch 8 hours a day for a month. May not work if you have eye problems affecting the eye you want to be dominant but not the current dominant.
Alternative: Partially or entirely obscuring dominant eye vision while shooting.
Retard: Switch hands.
FULL RETARD: Scoop out your left eye and eat it to give your right eye its power.
Please don't shoot traps, we love you even if you're left eye dominant!

hey same dude. I don't even focus on the bead as much as I follow the barrel with my eyes but it seems with handguns I shoot like a foot to the right at like 10 yards. maybe I'm just retarded idk

Shot full of semen maybe.

Trap shooting can have two very different meanings here.
You some kind of cross eyed cross dresser?
