Dominant Eye, Master Eye For Proper Firearm Shooting

Vision, Stress, Shooting. - A summary of behavioral changes that are associated with high levels of stress.

Determine the Master Eye, Dominant Eye - TRY - Trigger Finger Pointing: With both eyes open, hold the Trigger Finger out at arms length and point at an object, then alternately close and open each eye. One eye makes the finger jump from the object and one eye keeps it close to the object. The eye keeping it close is the Master Eye. Shooting Tips - Click Here

Finger / Thumb Circle: Form a circle with the thumb and forefinger and hold the circle at arms length. Place the circle on an object and, Keeping Both Eyes Open, bring the circle back all the way to your face. It will come back to the Master Eye.

Two-Handed Circle: A few students, with little difference between their eye’s strengths, are “side dominant” depending on which hand they use (right hand, right eye dominant and left hand, left eye dominant).

Master Eye: The master eye can change with age, illness and corrective lenses. The master eye should be checked at least every six months, for confirmation, and more often if required.

Cross Dominance: Not a problem with the handgun as the gun is moved sideways to place it between the master eye and the target. It maybe a problem with a long gun

	Vision And Stress
1. Narrowing of attention span and range of perceived alternatives.	2. Reduction in problem-solving capabilities.	3. Oversight of long-term consequences.

	Visual Skills
Visual skills provide intelligent information to shooters concerning where targets are located, what details and characteristics constitute the target, as well as target speed and direction of movement.	This type of spatial, temporal and labeling OF information is used to make a decision whether or not to coordinate a response to shoot the target.	Understanding how visual abilities dominate the process of shooting targets accurately and quickly will provide a framework to improve firearms instruction.

	Body Alarm Response "BAR."
Above and beyond the basic visual functions that are operational at various lighting conditions, there are specific visual changes that occur when a shooter is threatened by a dangerous situation.	The Body Alarm Reaction (BAR) is the body’s response to an unexpected and sudden change in the environment, most commonly initiated during the early stages of a life threatening attack.	The BAR is often associated with combat or violent encounters. The most immediate visual change in response to the BAR is that the eye focusing system (accommodation) loses it ability to maintain clear focus on targets at close distances.
	Daylight Vision Shooting
From a practical perspective, only in daylight vision can very precise detail and color of a target be seen.	Also, precise 3-D depth perception (stereopsis) is only possible during cone-dominated daylight viewing conditions.	The highest degree of depth perception occurs when the central, straight ahead fixation point in each eye sends information to the brain in a highly coordinated fashion.
