Just got done reading a thread on strong hand strong eye. It was interesting enough for me to start this poll.

Not too many voters out there. I found it interesting that many were dominant right hand left eye. I'm actually right handed, but no preference to which eye I use. I swap actually depending on the target location..

I knew that most would be right/right but it's still interesting to see that a good number of people shoot opposite. Right hand left eye or vise versa.

Is it because that eye is better more focused?

I'm a right hand/left eye. I do everything right handed except when shooting a long gun or my bow.

Generaly, under no stress, I will shoot right handed and aim w/ the right eye, but have found my self shooting rifles and pistols strong and weak sided and aiming dominant or non dominant...what ever was faster to acquaired.

Right hand, left eye......left hand, left eye......I'm ambi with my hands but my right eye is 'fuzzy' (injury) so I had to retrain myself to be left eye dominant when shooting.
