See what I'm saying? And then I would also say this, if you have a gray hair on your head, you're closer to being eye neutral than any eye dominant any fucking thing because of life, right? And the reason I would tell you that is because the part of the brain that works the eyes is like the part of the brain that works the ears. It's the part of the brain that works the legs and the arms, right?
They work, all these things on your subconscious I think work better together and are stronger together. What do I mean by that? You know, when it comes to leg days, dudes are like, dude, man, bro, on a squat 500 on leg day. Okay, does that mean you can do 250 pounds with one leg? No, you can't probably, right? Because the legs are stronger together than they are independently. Right.
And this is a function of the deep part of your brain, the fast part of your brain, right? So having said that, you can't choose an ear, can you? Right. The only way you can choose an eye is the eyelid, which has nothing to do with vision or dominance. See what I'm saying?
Yeah. So if you look at the card, right, if you're like right-handed, right eye dominant, you should be hitting in the middle of the circle there, right? But if your left eye takes over, look where the rounds will go. And it'll always be, look, it'll always be eye distance apart on your target. So people that have eye issues, they don't shoot one group.
They shoot two groups, one for each eye, and the gun goes left eye, right eye, left eye, right eye.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yes, I do. And I'll tell you why. Before I retired from the Army, I tore my bicep out of my left arm. I'm left-handed. So I went and turned in all my left-handed holsters and got right-handed holsters. And I was like, I'm going to train myself to be right-handed from here forward because the VA said I'd never use my left hand again. So I was like, okay, fuck you guys. I'll be a righty.
You can't slow me down. You know what I mean? And then I started training as a righty. Took me about two weeks. I was fucked up. It was tough. You know what I mean? I had to stick with it. Fucking a lot of frustrating days. And after about two weeks, my brain just transferred all that skill to the right hand. And I just fucking rocked it from then on out.
Well, think about this. If you actually knew perfect practice, you could switch that to the other hand. Right. But if you never knew perfect practice, the other hand would get the same garbage.
Yeah.
Well, you should, but the guy who made that rule has a strong eye and a weak eye, and he can do that. Your brain, when I say someone is eye neutral, your brain treats your eyes as equal. What does that mean? Your vision could be shit. It could be great, but the brain says, I got two windows. I look out of this one. Let me look out of that one. And you're going back and forth.
You'll see the gun move. You'll see the head move. And then most of the time, it's just like it's no good. You're just not seeing it good. Make sense?
You know what I mean?
I am not a red dot guy. I'm an iron sight guy. However, let me explain myself. The internet knows me as a red dot hater. But I'm taking that video and I'm going to draw one line through that red dot back to your face. And if it don't point exactly to your eye, you're shooting and not seeing shit. And every time I show this to somebody, they're like, so you're against red dots.
No, you're never going to catch the red dock unless you get better technique.
Well, no, you can have good technique with a red dot. Also, if you had fucking good technique and someone showed it to you, but no one shows it to you. Right. The next thing with the red dot is the red dot is great for guys who don't see well. Because what happens is the red dot becomes in between you, your eye, and the target. Make sense, essentially? Right? So you'll be able to see that.
But what no one tells you is it's harder to learn, harder to master. So you need it, but you need to train with it properly or it's not doing you any good.
Few reasons. If you look at pro shooters, high-level pro shooters, guys that are fucking insanely fast, winning national IPSC champs, Rob Latham, Dave Savigny, you look at these guys, what you'll see is like... They're so much more efficient than anyone else, right? And they'll use a way bigger sight.
Like I think the winningest sight of all time in like gun games is, it's like the Seymour STS, but it's like more of the size of a beer can than it is the little tactical sight. So now when you shrink that thing down to a postage stamp, They put a coating on it so it doesn't fucking reflect or whatever, but you can't see through it well.
