Correcting eye dominance when shooting

For many, the difference between being a good shot and a great one is a factor that's oft-overlooked: the eyes. It may sound laughably simple - its something as basic as loading the gun, you might think - but if your eyes aren’t helping you position the gun properly they are hindering you. Many guns don't have a fully dominant eye, and for those who shoot with both eyes open, this can lead to problems, especially with the straight driven bird. 

Double Vision

What this causes is that you end up seeing two sets of barrels in your peripheral vision, as in the image below, and this can lead to poor gun placement, and a miss. The brain chooses the eye it uses for detailed information and this will depend on the eye with the best information at that moment in time - some people even have both: central vision or central dominance.

The ShootingSP is a product designed to make this problem a thing of the past. Developed by Steven Randles, who found that his shooting was suffering for exactly this reason. He found that the available solutions - closing an eye or wearing a patch - were unsatisfactory. He enlisted the help of an eye-dominance specialist, and the ShootingSP (Shot Parabaloid) was the result.

The final word from Steven: "The SP was invented and developed to solve my poor shooting and during its development it was tested by a number of people who had some form of eye dominance issue. It was the combined success and clear impact on people’s enjoyment of shooting that turned the SP into a product and something that is helping both game and clay shots."
