I’m left eyed dominant and right handed. I still struggle with this. I see two images all the time and I just needed to train myself on which one to look at. It’s become easier the more I practice, but still have a long way to go. Best thing you can do is dry fire and practice a lot.
Just keep your head straight and move your pistol to the left to have it before your left eye. Don't turn your head. Eye have the other problem...I never see the double image except on long range sessions. I'd like to know how I can go back and forth between both cause there are drills with covered sights and so on.
Just train, when I was a kid and in hospital I couldn't use my right hand so after two weeks or so I was drawing and writing with my left same as with my right arm before.. Later when I got out I've forget to use the left arm again (but two weeks without getting out of the bed with only a pencil and a paper as toys they gave us you can imagine how much I have tried to do something with my left arm)
So how I fixed this was on the advice of I think T-REX arms channel. I am cross dominant, left eye dominant and right handed. What I do is shift my head slightly so my left eye is in line with my sight picture. it becomes pretty instinctive after a while if you haven't solved it since the years ago when you posted this comment. I can now get my shots to hit generally where I am aiming as opposed to being way off (a common symptom of aiming improperly). I struggle with consistency however I have been only shooting for 4ish months.
Adrenaline forces both eyes to stay open during a dangerous situation. Last thing you want to see is two images of the target and not know which one to acquire. Great video.
You get two superimposed images - one per eye. You can train to sight using both at the same time and use the average, or sight using just one of the pictures. There are three positions to use left, center, and right, and you can play with them by winking either eye. Center is the easiest to get right using both eyes.
i just spent 10 minutes reading some article about both eyes open… this mf takes 01:18 with intro and outro included and delivers the message i want with some neat trick on how to use it… Great video man🤘🏼🤘🏼
Definitely one of the best tricks I’ve seen not lying. I’ve been trying to teach myself how to shoot with both eyes open after I got my pistol and cpl and this helped a lot. Thank you!
Trained this way, sustained detached retina during injury. After surgery, became opposite eye dominant. Training and Mother Nature prevailed. Still had Master marksman ranking.
This was awesome! Picked up on it right away with the thumb technique. Ran straight to my pistol and sighted up on the first try! Thanks man! God bless.
This is very practical. I've had plenty of threat encounters involving more than one bad guy. You want to be able to scan and keep an eye on the most pressing threat.
Brilliant content. To the point, simple for someone who has no formal training like me to comprehend and implement, no fluff. I was going to subscribe but I saw that I already was subscribed.
Oh gosh, at first I said like "wth is he talking about". After 5 mins I started seeing 2 thumbs. After 10 mins I coulds see 2 guns. And after 15 mins I'm dry firing perfectly with both eyes open. I can confirm this is pure GOLD.
WOW! I have been trying to get from one eye to two eyes open for two yrs. As soon as I did this thumb exercise, it all became clear. No pun intended. Thanks.
I came here to make sure I figured this out correctly and I did, I am glad I didn't have trouble with this one it was one of the things I was worried about learning.
Thanks, Coch, this little exercise is very helpful. I have struggled with "tow eyes open" for a long time. Now after 3 minutes of practice it feels natural :)
This is great information. I’ve found that regarding “ghost images,” the right-side ghost image in my sights is my left eye’s focus point. And vice a versa.
You may be left eye dominant. Make smal triangle with both hands extended out in front and place an object or target inside said hand openning. Now with both eyes open Close your right eye....if the target seems to be outside of yoyr hand sight, your right eye dominant. Without moving, close your left eye and the target will be inside your hand openning.....verifying your right eye as being your dominant eye. The opposite is true if your left eye dominant, just do the same drill with both eyes. In that drill the target will appear as if it moved when you close your left eye. Easy peezy.
@@denisdegamon8224 I'm left eye dominant, and problematically, that means there is nearly no sight picture of the gun if i have both eyes open, the main one just ceases to exist. It kind of does, but hardly, it's like shooting while near blind.
Here’s where I struggle. Initial target acquisition with both eyes open is generally clear. Follow up shots are terrible, unless I drop my firearm and re-acquire the target. Maybe my eyes are having trouble transitioning from front sight to target, then back to from sight. I now also wear corrective lenses with is a big change.
It’s easy and naturally to tilt your head a little when holding with both hands the handgun/long guns. Just remember to ignore the higher image and focus on the lower. Remember this works for me
A tip is to look at your target beyond your sights, both eyes open - to see the target with your direct vision. You’ll then see your sights blurry with your peripheral vision, and then you can “look down” (still with your eyes open) over to your sights with your direct vision and you’ll see them very clearly with both eyes.
I never see the ghost image when I try it or seeing past covered sights. Either my right eye dominance is distinctive or I'm doing something wrong. I've seen it before at 25-50m range, but it would be helpful if there is a sure way when my eyes are forced to it so I can access both.
I've only been shooting a couple times but I will say it's not easy to shoot with both eyes open. This helps but sometimes my left eye starts to focus, then I start focusing on target and then sight and then every where else. It does take practice.
I think shooting with a pistol RDS should solve the problem for people that shoot irons with one eye closed ? They are then target focused and looking thru the dot naturally with a single sight picture rather than 3 with irons I’ve never had an issue shooting with both eyes open as my left eye is legally blind so right eye dominance has already been naturally trained into my sight focus But the thumb focus trick is the ticket to understanding this issue when using irons
I picked up and shoot my first gun a couple days ago. I tend to close my non dominant eye/hand and I’m pretty accurate. But I was also told keeping both eyes open was a better practice. I feel like I’m crossing my eyes when I have them both open, and when I try to look at my target through the iron sights. My eyes start to hurt and see blurry. Ugh gotta keep working on this.
I aim with the left eye 70% of the times, and with the right one the other 30%. It's very annoying. Weirdest part is that I get right-eye dominant when I make the test, and left-dominant while aiming.
my right hand is master grip, but my dominant eye is left. should i train my self to be right eye dominant so the gun, wrist, and arm are better in line?
I m left eues too and rivât handed but at thé begining, i learn to shoot with my left hand . Ok , it s a lot of guns who are built for Right handed but it s quickly easy to use your gun with left
Man, my problem is my glasses. Without them, I see the target, but sights are blurry. With them, sights are clear, but the target is blurry. Thanks for the video.
Why can't you shoot with one eye closed? When I was 15 years old, I was at my aunt Joanne's house with my little brothers, my little cousins, and our friend Chris, who was in college at the time. It was on a winter Sunday afternoon, so we all had Bible study to prepare for night church. After Bible study, Chris' phone rang. When he answered the phone, it was his mother. I was pretending to talk on the phone with him, even though I wasn't really calling anybody. In the middle of his phone call, Chris picked up a toy Nerf gun, pointed at me, closed one eye, and shot me in the shoulder with a soft light foam dart. Then, he continued talking to his mother on the phone.
@@hannahduggan3599 that isn’t a very stressful situation. But I see what you’re saying. It’s better to keep both eyes open in order to maintain a full field of view.
After doing a test, I found that I'm a left eye dominant but right handed. But when I do this technique, my right eye is the one doing the aiming with both eyes opened. Now, I'm torn if I'm going to practice moving the gun or tilting my head to use my dominant left eye. I actually tried tilting my head and moving the gun to be in line with my left eye but my right eye is doing the aiming. Do anyone have the same experience? If you are, what are you practicing?
both eyes open is great for CQB and room clearing. Specific shooting for a specific task requiring specific training and discipline. Fill your boots but I will still outshoot you at 500 yards with one eye. :)
no point using ironsights as they never work. no point using laser sights as they give away your position to the enemy. a scope is for the best but it only really works on a rifle. it's cumbersome on a handgun. handguns are meant to be shot from the hip.
Problem: when i aim with two eyes open the main image of a gain just stops existing, the wrong gun has a more solid picture so my mind sees the main one as wrong and gets rid of it unless i focus on it, which makes the target become fucked.
I can't aim for shit with 1 eye closed, always shot with both eyes open just to the left of the "3rd" set of sights that naturally appear when it's not in total focus ( I wear glasses), tight grouping and pretty much on the money, just a small variance

Im exactly like you but i immediatly aim with 2 without thinking about it
Wow just tried that while focusing on a point in my house and exactly like you said I squinted and everything got clearer dam great job

Wholly Shit your reaction has me laughing my ass off. What a great video!!
I always shoot with Both eyes close
😂😂😂
🤣😂
When I open up my eyes I be like dog I really got em.
😂LOL
😂😂😂
You can see how knowledgeable someone is if they can teach you something in a really simple manner. This man really knows what he's doing
Oh man. This is GOLD!

this was a game changer for a new shooter. thank you!
That was the EASIEST AND BEST example.
This video just improved my dry firing abilities 10x
Can’t wait to test it out on the range. 🤠
I watched a 15 minute video and got no help. Then I watched yours and that helped me a ton. Thanks man!
Straight and to the point, informational, and we'll relayed. Great vid!

Man I love the short informational videos no bs just straight to the point thanks brotha
THIS WORKS!!! Thank you. The other guy on this channel gave us a totally useless practice method.
Great method for learning to use both eyes!
Absolutely the easiest to understand explanation and forthright, only the essential information. Thank you from and amateur wanting to progress 👍

You just taught me how to accurately duel weld.

So helpful.

But how does this work for shooting a pistol at longer distances? I'm super inaccurate past 15 yards unless I close one eye.
THANK YOU❤❤
my right hand is master grip, but my dominant eye is left. should i train my self to be right eye dominant so the gun, wrist, and arm are better in line?
Practice drawing with a target on the wall using spring ammunition because of the high cost!
Gold!
Good video
Thanks!!
I m left eues too and rivât handed but at thé begining, i learn to shoot with my left hand . Ok , it s a lot of guns who are built for Right handed but it s quickly easy to use your gun with left
Do I focus on the sight or the target?
I’m right eye dominant and right handed but I still have trouble focusing on the target. Any suggestions?
I have amblyopia in the right eye. Will this still work for me?
Like Bubba J said "if you are seeing double,shoot in the middle.Works every time.
Nice
I get it now
Aim for the middle. Put target between the image, of two thumbs. Like having double vision.
Man, my problem is my glasses. Without them, I see the target, but sights are blurry. With them, sights are clear, but the target is blurry. Thanks for the video.
👍thanks

What if I don’t have a dominant eye and both ghost images look the exact same? This is so frustrating
Wow thanks that’s so damn cool .. just squint it’s so simple
Fuck yea. Explained simple and effective. Helped me right away.
This guy was with DEVGRU. You won’t find a better piece of instruction.
When my both eyes are open my one gun turns into two Guns
same
you should try dual wielding for 4 guns

What about sniping?

This is so weird. I wasn't expecting this advice to be..."ignore the blurry image from your non-dominant eye." I have work to do...
I'm not seeing ghost image
I see two thumbs
🤙
It’s easy. Don’t close your eyes.
Where's the cheek weld on a pistol ? lol
what about seeing 6 dots at night with tritium night sights?
Okay so I can squint but can’t bugeye both eyes to shoot lol
Shooting with both eyes is easier for me anyways
