Both visual sports unless Im missing something. I am right handed and left eye dominate and cataract getting bad in right eye. Use all the vision God has bless’d you with men and make the best of it and I promise you will break more targets and have more fun if you peel all the do-dads off your glasses and learn to mount and point your gun consistently.
You can occlude and its a quick fix for an aimer, however to max out your potential in any shotgun sport with moving targets you must point!
I wasn't (and still am not) an aimer, and my occlusion spot has made a big difference.

I have decided most folks who want to be relevant can’t handle the truth!!
So, does this mean you don't want to be relevant but you can handle the truth or that you want to be relevant but you can't handle the truth? LOL.

Had you closely read the original post and read through the attachment you should have been able to determine that this isn't about one eye vs two eye shooting, it is about the fact that there is a lot more to crossfiring than just a simple eye dominance test can reveal. Of course the science also reveals that if your eyes are not working in coordination with each other, two eyes are not better than one eye in target sports. BTW, except for a pitcher, baseball is not a target sport. In fact, the RightEye System has established certain vision characteristics that will point to a player being more successful at a position that requires his particular vision characteristics.

Jim and Notch,
A willingness to be taught and learn outside your comfort zone or abilitiy of all YOU believe to be true is really all the debate is here.
Div 1 baseball players are great ball players….however they don’t move up to MLB if they can’t be taught more.
My point is if you are not willing to listen you will keep believing only what you and others like you only know.

Bayne,

it seems like you are the one not wanting to learn about new information supplied by new technology. Before I encountered the RightEye technology, I was already pretty well versed in vision as it relates to the clay target sports. I had learned that and accepted that it is a complex field with nothing that fits everyone.. The RightEye data provided scientific confirmation of that complexity.

I did listen and learn. I shot without a Shotspot or winking down my off eye my entire life, both eyes open and solidly right eyed dominate...until I aged. As I got older I developed vision issues. I studied and learned that a Shotspot was the answer. I successfully worked my vision issues and shoot much better now.

One thing that has struck me over the years is how many great shooters had fathers who were great shooters. It is not genetic, it is the fact that the fathers started their kids out shooting the right way from Day One, so that every shell fired after that was making the kid better.

If shooting extremely well were simply a matter of experimenting, finding what "feels natural," or "what works best for you," the Derrick Meins and Kayle Brownings of the world would have a lot more competition.

Learning to shoot a shotgun well is the least intuitive endeavor I believe I have ever encountered. It is also the least understood by the great mass of its practitioners.

That provides gimmick and snake oil salesmen an open door, but there really is no shortcut.

There is no one "right way."

LOL. What's the matter Coach, you afraid science might prove your theories wrong? In the past you have amply demonstrated your unworthiness to participate in any type of discussion that challenges your opinions. I am done with your baloney. Say "Hi" for me to your buddies at the Flat Earth Society. :)

What qualifies you to question it? ;)

I post what I post. People can accept it or reject it. No skin off my nose either way. If you want to present a response that presents supported arguments or new information, you add to the discussion. So far, that doesn't seem to be what you do.
