" Through his website, and forum/blog, he has presented the entire technique of Pistol-Shooting in an extremely simplified, systematic, scientific manner, with detailed description and information of each fragmented component which when ‘defragmented’ or ‘assembled’ gives a lucid & an almost magical picture of the correct technique of shooting the ‘Perfect Shot’.”

Hello friends,

One of the interesting questions that I have received is Which of my eyes is dominant? Whether it is the left or the right eye?

Now this is very simple to find out, all you have to do it to follow the next two steps;

Take your thumb and point it at any object as shown in the video. In the video I have put an image of a target, it can be any object, a switch, or a light bulb at any distance of 10ft, 15 ft, or beyond. Just cover your thumb so that it covers that object. Then cover your left eye. After covering your left eye, open your left eye and if the thumb remains in place as shown in the video then your RIGHT EYE is dominant.

The second step is to confirm whether your right eye is dominant or not.

Once again place the thumb to cover the object, now cover your right eye. After removing the palm from your right eye if the thumb still remains in place then your LEFT EYE is dominant.

So that is how you can find out whether your left eye or your right eye is dominant.

And if you still have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me on my email id, WhatsApp number, or cell number.

Happy shooting.
