I am right-handed and have always been comfortable shooting with right-eye alignment and both eyes open. I'm getting older and my vision is not what it once was, and the degradation is more noticeable in my right eye, as confirmed by the prescription issued by my optician. This has been something of a limiting factor in terms of my speed and accuracy on certain targets.
With these factors in mind, yesterday I experimented with aligning my LEFT eye, rather than my RIGHT, with the front sight through the rear notch. I fired a few hundred rounds using this technique. The sight picture is definitely clearer & sharper. I just have to train myself to turn my head to my right and to raise the pistol more towards my left.
Anyone else try this and find it a long-term preference? Any drawbacks?
