What happens if you are cross eye dominant
What happens if you are cross eye dominant is a very interesting question indeed.
Lets assume you mount your gun on your right shoulder, and lets assume you are right eye dominant, and lets assume you have both eyes open.
The image above depicts that exact scenario, and all is well! All is well because your right eye being the dominant eye is in the correct place in terms of the line of sight. The eye, the shotgun bead and the target are all in line!
You might say, this gunner is lucky that he is right eye dominant. He may or he may not even know it but he could have been as easily left eye dominant and that would have caused a massive error down range.
The image below depicts what would happen if he were left eye dominant (gun still mounted on right shoulder).
Here's the thing. When you look at an object with both eyes open, you see 2 images. 1 image from each eye. The Brain ignores one of the images! It only register's the image seen by the dominant eye. That image will be lets say the brightest or the most definitive image.
In this scenario, the Brain sees the Bead with the left dominant eye. As far as this shooters Brain is concerned, the eye, the bead and the Target are all in line, except the gun is looking (aiming) somewhere else.
You can prove it to yourself. Hold your arm outstretched with both eyes open and use a finger as if to aim at a relatively distant object. Focus on what you are aiming at, not the finger and you will see both the images, one strong, one week.
Close the left eye and if your finger and the target are still in line you are right eye dominant.
Close the right eye and if your finger and the target are still in line you are left eye dominant.
The error at range is considerable. Assuming the Bead is 650 mm from your eye (at the end of the barrel) and your left eye is 64 mm from your right eye, that subtends an angle of error of 5.5 degrees. This equates to an error at range at 30 Metres to 2.9 Metres (114").
