Big fan of the easy hit. I tried tape, dots, one eye, etc and wasn’t happy with any of those solutions. As a newcomer to shotgun shooting/sporting clays, this bit of kit combined with a couple of rounds of skeet every once in awhile has fast tracked my sporting results.
Excellent! I shoot a 38 year old Citori for skeet with the old bead. My duck mud-gun is a Winchester SX4 with the truglo, never thought about eye dominance solution.
New to clay shooting but have done lots of wing shooting for 50 years. Do very well at wing shooting not sure if I keep both eyes open when wing shooting. Shot a round of 100 today at trap and noticed that I was slightly closing my once-dominant, left, eye. Did okay shooting like that but when I realized I was doing this I started to focus on keeping both eyes open and watching the target, didn't h I t a dang thing and had no idea where I was missing. Went back to my left eye closed, slightly closed and started hitting targets again. Would you recommend keep shooting this way or work on both eyes open method? Also with both eyes open I can't tell where the barrel is pointing. It does seem like I do see more of the rib with both eyes open vs just the bead with one slightly closed. Thanks for sharing.
Sounds like you are left eye dominant shooting right handed. If this is the case you will end up shooting left of everything. The easy hit might help. Another solution would be to put clear tape over you left lens on your glasses. Also with 2 eyes open you won’t see the gun as well as 1 eye. Plus with your left eye taking over you are looking down the side of the gun. The last note would be that with 50 years of shooting any changes will be difficult and take time. If you decide to make any changes I would recommend having the trap set to straight away targets or any really easy targets. Without working with you in person this is the best advice I can give.
@@DeanBlanchard thank you Sir for the response and help. I'm definitely right eye dominant and shoot right handed. When I did military rifle and pistol Bullseye competition shooting I would fog (tape over) my left lens in order to keep from having to squint. Not squinting for 4 to 5 hours of course of fire relaxed my eyes and provided much better vision. I have scheduled a lesson with a local instructor and will see how that works out. I have done as you suggested and been setting the trap to straightaway only. Thanks again for sharing your knowledge.
Please explain, I have never used the bead or even looked at the marks on the barrel, I just push through with a lead. Surely if you are concentrating on a bead or the end of the barrel you will always be behind the clay?
Even though you don’t look at the gun you still see it. For some people with dominant eye issues they need more of a reference at the end of the gun. It’s not to look at but, to see out of their peripheral vision. It can be difficult for someone to understand that has no issues. Something like this helps me when i shoot left handed with two eyes. I do this when I need to demonstrate something to a left handed shooter.
Tim Walz just said he was shooting clays and saw there were his and his buddies clay headed towards each other and he said he thought he should shoot them both at once !!! And he said he did it !!!! Is it just me or does that just sound impossible ?
If the clays cross each others pass then it’s possible to hit them both with 1 shot. I don’t know what game he was shooting that his and another shooters targets passed that close.
I use this for new shooters who struggle with having 2 eyes open when shooting. Once they become comfortable and don’t have eye issues I recommend removing it.

I just had the chance to review the sx4 in 20ga. It was a fun gun to shoot.
my gun fitter fit my 12 ga with that and wow did it help.
That’s fantastic

Not a fan of this. Your focus should be on the bird not the barrel

With both eyes open we see two barrels, does this also help to clear the main barrel while shooting? Do we see two glow dots or one?
