So I have been shooting with both my eyes open for almost 3 years now but recently I have this small problem of both images moving towards each other and blurring everything out while I am aiming, this only happens when I am in the aiming area please help me out with this issue
thanks for the upload! I am cross-eyed lefthanded beginner shooter and I don't know how I should start out now. Should I just use my right hand and using my dominant hand and tilt my head to be in line with the pistol? damn, I really don't know. I wanted to buy an own air pistol.
I like to have it appear just slightly wider than the front sight, but it's personal preference. If you have trouble gauging whether the front sight is in the centre of the rear sight, probably consider narrowing the rear sight.
I used to shoot with a blinder. Now, trying to aim without one. I note that front sight is sharper, but many times I have noted that I don't see the black dot and rear sights (or it is very much blurred). Must admit I have not yet tried live firing with both eyes open yet.
Yes, the rear sight might not be so clear with both eyes open. The light from an illuminated target can help with the contrast. One thing I like to do is make the rear sight gap very small, so it appears just slightly larger than the front sight. That way, it's easy to align even if it's not clear. On the other hand, the target should always be slightly blurred if you are focusing correctly on the sights. Keep it up!
@@wonghanxuan7620 thank you so much. Continue to upload more videos. Your videos are awesome. Secondly, what pellet weight and what velocity is the preferred choice by champion air pistol shooters? Thanks.👍👍
In general the recommended velocity is around 150-160 m/s; a higher velocity means the pellet spends less time in the weapon and is less affected by weapon movement. For pellet weight, to some extent it is personal preference. The pellet weight and weapon velocity together will determine the amount of recoil (P=mv). Some shooters like a larger recoil to give them more feedback on their shot, because it becomes more obvious when there is unintended motion at the point of trigger. Other shooters (like me) prefer less recoil because it helps maintain concentration for follow through. However, the most important consideration at the highest level is precision. There is usually some combination of pellet brand, weight, diameter and velocity that will give the tightest grouping for a particular weapon. So elite shooters will clamp their weapon in a vice and shoot series of different pellets to find the best combination. If you go to a manufacturer to do this you can buy a large quantity of pellets from the same batch that gives your weapon the best performance. Nevertheless, I have found that even with random cheap pellets, the score variation with my LP10E was seldom more than .3 points, so we usually don’t worry about it unless we’re going for a major competition :)
@@wonghanxuan7620 hi, is it allowed in Olympics or major tournaments to place some small "white or black colour" marks on our personal competition pellets for identification (e.g., on top, side, or on the skirt of pellet by marker pen so we can easily notice where the pellet is, when we need to shoot that desired pellet during competition during critical moments). Thank you, anticipating your reply.👍

Very clear explanations. Thank you so much

I am right handed and left eyed. Should I try to change my hand/eye or stay cross dominant?
Please share your experiences regarding grip shaping ( another video please). Thank you
it's on the way :)
What should be the width or rear sight, I'm confused in it

@@wonghanxuan7620 Checked it at the range today. Had to adjust my position a bit. It's all good 👍 Thank you 😊
Can we shoot Cross eye. Is it allowed in Olympics and major tournaments? (ie., Right arm with left eye). Thanks
Of course you can. However, it is rather uncomfortable to align your sight line that way - the wrist or neck or both have to twist a lot.

Amazing video!
for me it is just convenient. for me it is difficult to shoot with lenses.
Good info
