EYE DOMINANCE | How to Diagnose & Fix
Vložit
- čas přidán 31. 01. 2020
- John met up with Kathryn at Governors Gun Club to diagnose her eye dominance issues which have made it difficult for her to aim. It seems Kathryn has an astigmatismand difficult focusing which causes her to see double unless she closes one eye. There are a lot of suggestions on how to fix this… some of them are bad… especially when you factor in the tactical element of firearms training. John goes over ways you can help those you know solve their eye dominance issues, and what advice to avoid.
Keep in mind, there is always something to tweak, learn, or improve with beginners, so don’t try to solve everything on the first range day. You might notice they have a flinch response, or that they are anticipating the shot and pushing against the recoil causing them to miss low and to the left (for righties). Another common mistake is posture and how they are gripping the firearm. Don’t try to fix it all at once! If you tell them they’re doing everything wrong, they’ll be less excited about figuring it all out and, consequently, less interested in learning how to do it properly. Take your time as they learn.

“Closing an eye is not eye-deal”....dad joke game is solid even when he’s not trying
Umm ya ... I heard that the moment he said it ... "dad-ness" confirmed
Soo mad you beat me to that one... Lol
nicceeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
I have been shooting for over 20+ years, military and competitive, and I am left-eye dominant but right handed, and I never even heard about turning my head like that to compensate. My next range trip I will be trying this, but just doing presentations, it is already making a difference!!!! THANK YOU!!!!
Crazy that you've been able to shoot well (assuming a good shot considering your exp )When you haven't tried the head turn. I was never taught the head turn but when I saw that I was struggling to find the sights so badly it just came instinctively as I tied to compensate for being right handed/left eyed. Kudos for making life work for you in spite of that.
I am right handed and didn't know I was left eye dominant for some time. I read an article on how to determine eye dominance and watched some videos years ago. I read articles with people advocating forcing eyes to switch dominance with different methods. Further research I found this to be a poor solution and at best temporary, since the eyes would naturally change back to the previous dominance. Now using my left eye with that slight head position adjustment with both eyes open( always kept both eyes open) my poi has improved. It took some time before the new head position became automatic and natural without thinking about it, but now it's what is comfortable for me.
20+ years of bad advice fixed in about 6 seconds! I'm also right handed and left eye dominant, but i've always shot well enough (retired law enforcement) to push through. Turning my head far enough to take my right eye out of the picture worked wonders. Wish I had someone who "trained smart" years ago. Thank you John!
I think I am a pretty good shooter. I have always closed my left eye, and then later learned to squint my left eye so that I keep some vision in it, which has worked ok, but I think this will be a lot better.
@@papimaximus95 Wasn't knocking it, I was just saying that it's impressive that he made it work for him. 🤷♂️
I’m clearly left eye dominate, could only focus on Catherine, John was a blurry in right eye
No doubt. She was stunning.
@@Samuel-I not really 7/10
Im stunning... She.... Looks like a man... Im a 9.5 out of 10.... She's a 4 at best.
Lacy Desires I’m sure you are but your thumbnail is tiny, hard to tell
@@EDCandLace Every woman thinks shes a 9.5/10, they are usually wrong. Your no exception
What if I have an eye patch on my left eye and I have a parrot on my left shoulder to scan for threats, but the parrot is right eye dominant? This is all so confusing.
😂😂😂
Lawren Downing You will end up with back problems. An average parrot weighs 45 lbs... everyone knows that. If the parrot is scanning for threats, I assume he’ll have a decent spotting scope which will add a couple lbs. all said and done, you will have 47lbs on one shoulder for 12-14 hours a day. Best practice is to ditch the parrot and just take the eye patch off. Use both eyes unless you squirt lime in one while making a margarita, then you’ll just have to endure 47 lbs of parrot and optics while you patch up and recover from OC (orbital citrus). Hope this helps.
Stick with a flintlock pistol then.
🤣😂🤣
This was really funny, I don't have a parrot or a patch on my left eye. However I do have a patch on my right eye and I was laughing at this whole video because there's no doubt I'm left eye dominant. I shoot pistols right handed, but long guns and bows left handed. My kids would love it if I did get a parrot, but I get enough comments and double takes with just the eye patch.
Do not close one eye because John will stab me in the face. Roger that.
Lol!
John? Where was John? I didn't see him at all in that video! Is he okay?
He will be there (out of peripheral vision) the moment you forget…. To stab you right in the face
I love watching John instruct. I'm a newer instructor, and I find it very difficult not to jump in and correct everything all at once. Even seeing her elbows down I wanted to ask why he didn't adjust that, but then realized that it's because it isn't important for her yet. Watching a master instructor ply his craft is always so fascinating. I learn so much not just about shooting, or tactics, but the art of instruction. Thank you very much sir!
My bro has the same problem when teaching his gf, he wanted to adjust everything at once and have her be perfect from the start but all it does is overwhelm the shooter and doesnt help anything.
Agree, so much is learned through patience especially with shooting!
It’s really hard not to want to shove all of your knowledge and experience on someone, especially when you know you only have them for a limited amount of time. But I’ve found the more I throw at someone, the less they absorb.
G'day,
I've often had friends come out to the farm and go shooting (rifle). Some will bring young/inexperienced children (& adults) that want to "have a go". I'll often tell parents (& myself) not to worry about proper technique etc and just let them have a go. Yes, I watch them to make sure nobody gets hurt. It's hard not to watch the target when that is all you have done for your whole life.
@Mr Bones bent elbows are ideal, I wasn't questioning the bend in her elbows, but that they are oriented down, instead of up/out.
30 years I've been shooting in Law enforcement and no one has ever taught me that. Thanks!
Lol about what I'd figure
I shoot rifles and pistols cross eye dominant. I tilt the rifle to the left a bit and turn my head to the right more than normal. I shoot shotguns left handed though.
Really?? I learned that awhile ago only been in law enforcement for 3 years
I’ve been shooting and training all my life, including 10 years in law enforcement. This is the first time that an instructor has pointed out that eye dominance can change with distance. I just learned that I am right eye dominant at distance, but left eye dominant close up. As a right handed shooter, I’ve been struggling with this for years. Thank you!
John is such a nice polite guy, I wish more trainers were as warm as he is.
facts
Me too. Im a new shooter and all the instructors/men tell me to do all the things he just called "bad advice". Smh...being a female in the mens world sucks...being sort of cute just makes its that much worse. Everyone has stupid advice just to talk to you. Ugh...my life. Still smh...🤦♀️just saying.
@@zenlenzmedia generalized thought here but definitely try to get as much advice from video as possible before doing live training. She equips herself, active self protection and smith & wesson's gunsmart series are really good resources for you to compare with any live training you receive thereafter for confirming your habits and addressing any corrections needed. Keep committing to your training and wish you well.
@@762x69 Thank you so much, I actually found a retired police officer to train myself and my daughters. Im much more confident with my shooting skills and will continue to train amd practice my skills.
Great advice and much needed for many shooters. I'm right handed but left eye Dominant. Drill Sergeant Authier in Basic Training at E Co. 1-50th INF Ft Benning GA diagnosed it back in 2001. Best Drill Sergeant to ever wear the brown round! Seriously, we loved DS Authier and would have died trying to live up to his expectations. A true leader inspires that kind kind of loyalty and respect. I do just about anything to buy that man a beer.
I fire right handed. No issues with a rifle, with a pistol I have to turn my head to the right. After nearly 20 years shooting this way it's 2nd nature.
You had a great DS because none of mine did the eye dominance test. And because of that I barely qualified as Marksman in Basic. It was only later after qualifying at my unit that I found out that I was cross dominant. Luckily, I can shoot a rifle fine lefthanded and I qualified Expert for the rest of my time in the Army. Hooah!!!
Ef77 completely agree! I’m curious why he throws that out as an option
Serious question: do you really not have issues with rifles? I cannot seem to find a comfortable angle to shoot long arms with right handed left eye dominance.
Holy crap John is really good at defusing tension. A lot of new shooters are terrified of doing something wrong and having someone who's willing to joke around a bit to make sure everyone is relaxed is great.
Johns wife: no late work nights
*racks slide*
John: yes dear
OH.MY.GOD!!! I've struggled with this for YEARS and just tried it out. Makes complete sense and it worked for me! I'm cross-eyed dominant and have struggled to shoot accurately. Adding this to my dry fire drills now. Thanks a TON!!!!
For decades the olympics have simply had their athletes wear and eye patch over the eye they want to make the submissive eye. After a few weeks the eyes will adjust the dominance. Very simple and the olympic program has the technique perfected
Brandon A wait seriously, does that work?
Makes sense. It’s what doctors do with lazy eye, we’ll actually the opposite. Patch goes over the strong eye to increase the strength of the weak eye to bring them the same level.
Sethra Lavode damn thats cool
Holy mother, this is literally the best video that is ever been put on CZcams when it comes to eye dominance. I know because I've watched them all
Same here...and now I can help some of the women folk in my house that seem to struggle with eye dominance even as they outshoot the men. Weird.
ShredderSensei: I have cross eye dominance (left eye & right handed shooter.) This is the best video I've seen on the subject. Lucas turns his head just as John suggests here. It's something that I just did instinctively when I began to shoot decades ago.
Check it out here: czcams.com/video/DV_WTsF_7kM/video.html
He goes into shooting rifle as well; very helpful I think.
Edit...After I posted, I saw that I was signed in under my son's login and name, Trevor.
This is Greg: gb93669@yahoo.com
My left eye is way better than my right, I’m going to train myself to do this.
Best advice for a cross-eye dominate shooter like me. A simple turn of the head solved years of frustration.
This is probably the best training hack I've seen in years. Thanks, John, for your insight, professionalism, and humor!
Heavens why did it take so many years for me to hear this; I found out a couple years ago that I have this very problem. I appreciate the video, brother!
The same for me: wasted 10 years
I am sure others know these techniques and are good trainers, But John has the something that raises him way above most. His ability to put people at ease and explain techniques in simple terms is top notch! I would gladly pay for his training, his.
I love that he gives positive feedback through the entire process.
You’re seeing through the sights. Good.
You placed the gun down safely. Good.
All that leads to a positive experience and makes people more comfortable.
Love that you make these entertaining ... great video indeed ! I learned some new tools for the toolbox . Thanks to you and the gang !!
Smart putting her in your vid, John. She’s so pretty it makes looking at you almost bearable.
Lol
Incredible how this tip helped me focus a lot better with both eyes open. Thanks for the great content as always. I literally stopped what I was doing and started practicing.
Thank you so much for posting this video; a few weeks ago I was searching through all your videos looking for one on this topic! I appreciate all your hard work and videos. God bless!
By far the best video I’ve ever seen on eye dominance
Thanks!
Omg I'm so glad that you had made this video cause I have the same issue and you have answered all my questions. P.s while watching this i was dry fire practicing
Man! My range needs a “members only lounge” and a bartender like Catherine.
We have a lounge, but no cute bartenders, sadly. :(
The one I go to could use one as well! 😂
I have a feeling girls at gun ranges are like girls at rock shows... everyone wants to talk to them and they're most likely unavailable
Riffed Wood no female is unavailable if you have the resources.
@@dr3wbyyy MGTOW
Love your videos great info and delivery keep up the great work.
Thank you John, I appreciate your dedication
One of these days I'm going to have to take some classes from this guy. You are a great teacher, John. You're spirit and personality just shine through. Great video.
Love it a bartender at a Gun Club. Love the video I'm right handed but left eye dominant, I'll try your techniques at home during my dry fire practice to train my eye right.
Thanks Warrior Poet! I am learning so much from you! You help make this world a better place!
I've actually been focusing on this all day today. Its been a while and I want to thank you John for getting me back in the habit! Your dry fire video is awesome too! I love pretty much all of your videos! 😃
I just wanted to let you know that I subscribed BECAUSE of your dad jokes/humor. Please don’t stop that
Been trying to figure this out for days and I’ve scanned his content multiple times to find this and Boom he makes the video!!
been waiting for one from the War Poet too. I think Lucas from Trex Arms has a video about it too
I really enjoyed watching, thank you, Ms. Poet.
The whole video I have feeling that you are very positive and in a nice mood, laughed on the magic trick.
Information is great and it will be tested tomorrow already, these bonus tips in firearms education are great.
This is why I recommend your channel to all my students and friends.
Great video, helped me overcome some accuracy issues I had been dealing with
This is absolute gold for me. I have been shooting with with my dad from the time I was eight. 40 years later and my dad gone, I still struggle with my handgun mastery. Being right handed, it’s natural for me to carry and shoot right handed also. So, when it comes to rifles, I am excellent and shoot left handed / eye. Reason being is that I was born with a “lazy eye” on the right side that has extremely limited vision. Your recommendation is spot on. I am nailing 4” steel gongs no problem. Thank you and keep on sharing such great info!
I was very lucky to have a science teacher early on (the first class in grade 7 when you get those loaner microscopes) who insisted that we keep both eyes open: one eye for the slides, one eye for the scope, and practice making your brain switch back and forth. I feel like it's one of those things that's easier the earlier you learn to do it.
Amazing information! Thank you for posting this vital tip on turning one's head to keep both eyes open.
Wow, definitely helpful tips & tricks. This has helped me a lot, thank you 😊
These are great, John is an incredible teacher, I bet many more people would be much more comfortable with firearms, if they had John as an instructor.
John, thanks for the free advice. I’ll need to play with this head turn strategy. I’m currently slightly squinting (not shutting) one eye
Bro! That was the best teaching video I have seen on figuring out eye dominance! Seriously appreciate the basic break down and the little tips and tricks that go into this.
Awesome video. I've always dealt with eye dominance issues and your video is a help to those that do.I enjoy your other videos as well.
Thanks for this! Left eye, right handed here! My husband and I are going to the range tomorrow after church for some training! 👍
Six people in the dislikes close both eyes when they shoot
Christian McNally and lean backwards 😆
Maybe they meant to push “like” but they closed their eyes at the last moment?
We watched Lethal Weapon the other night and I pointed out to my wife how Mel Gibson closed both eyes on every shot and still was able to make a smiley face at 25 yards! ;-)
Nah. Some people know he is a zionist puppet.
Are you kin to Rand?
I've always struggled with this, both in doing it and teaching it. I think this is going to make serious in roads for me. Thanks you two!!
I just found your channel. I find myself learning so much. Great channel thank you so much for sharing your knowledge.
thanks for the "tilting head" tip, great advice!
I'm seeing a pattern of students that are being brought out to the range. I'm on to you John. 😂
SJ R: lol. I first thought the same thing but I’m also thinking John’s trying to break down the macho stereotype associated with guns so more people feel some freedom to give guns a fair try. Either that or his wife left him and he’s on the hunt.
@@BiggMo that's what I'd say!!!!Lol!
Hahaha that wife of his would whip his ranger ass if he set a toe out of line. That’s the amazing level of trust a couple can have when they focus on Jesus and not only each other.
Zack Stetson Amen!
@@zackstetson7243 and he'd have to have completely lost his mind to leave a woman with the caliber of Mrs. Poet.
Great informational videos my friend! Keep it up!
Awesome video. Thanks for this tip.
I haven't been back to the range in years since "discovering" I was cross-dominant.
I took my brand new *Highpoint C9 (don't judge me; I'm poor) to the range with my CC certified friend. Even though in the distant past I shot fairly accurately with a rifle and even pistols, I was now consistently shooting to the left. Closed my left eye, and started hitting the target again. I do wear glasses, and my prescription for each eye is different.
I was so depressed over having to close my eye to shoot, that every time I considered going to the range, I felt discouraged, and found an excuse not to go.
Your solution, which seems just common-sense, but is coming from someone with your experience, gives me enough confidence that I want to revisit the range and see if it works for me. Turning my head would be so preferable to closing my eye for the reasons you gave. It _did_ occur to me to just turn my head, but I thought it was bad form.
Thanks so much for making this video.
*I don't like double-stack double-action semi-autos because I have small hands; for some strange reason I found the C9 _very_ comfortable to hold and shoot, unlike some other semi-autos. It feels balanced, somehow.
I'm one of those few who actually don't like (stock) Glocks, though your Warrior Poet pistol looks sexy as hell...
try holding other brands, even different sizes and styles. any little difference in design could be a big difference in the hand. maybe one day you could even have something other than a hipoint lol
Run what you brung. I don't have a highpoint (considering a carbine), but I have shot several.
Never had a problem.
They go bang, and seem to be very reliable.
I did shoot one that was in .45, and something was up with the barrel. It wasn't very accurate, and the bullets keyholed past 20 yrds.
At least highpoint will fix anything. I have had issues with big brands as well.
I have a lazy eye that's been mostly fixed and was never an issue since I was like 6 until I started using handguns. Red dots make it easier but I have constant issues with some sights especially ones on the micros. I can rock my AR and AK with little effort but grouping with any of my handguns with just 3 dots sights (even my 22lr) is just impossible. I think it's presentation problems mostly cause the gun I'm training with to eventually carry is a Glock but I shoot FNs, SIGs, and a bunch of others at around the same amount so it could be that my muscle memory was never fully there for anything cause I keep switching it up so much.
Yea that's the problem with having too many toys. I love by Beretta and shoot the crap out of it...but conceal carry my Glock. Gotta just buckle down and put in the time, and maintain a healthy balance at the range, keeping focus more on your chosen firearm than all the fun stuff.
This was super helpful, thank you!
You just helped me clear up my blurry site problems, thank you!!!!!
Eye dominance: all I know is that her eyes are dominating me....
lol
A vid on this topic regarding rifles would be cool
Left eye dom but right handed
Same here. I usually squint just a little to bring into focus. Funny enough I can shoot a rifle left handed, but this presents issues with a right hand gun belt setup.
That would be great!
Trex arms video covers that
Same here
I shoot pistols right handed, but long guns and bows left handed. Unfortunately no real choice since I only have my left eye.
Useful information and Kathryn rocked !!!
That helped my old eyes more than you could ever know. God bless you John.
John: “I see a threat, it’s a troll.”
Me: “They have a cave troll.”
John has infinite charisma, yet he isnt an egomaniac...thats something to aspire to
I liked the “don’t get cocky, just shoot up” comment. Pretty rare comment from an American ;)
Extremely helpful for training new or even people who've been shooting for years with problems they couldn't figure out.
THANK YOU! Turning my head really helped! Getting used to bifocals shooting and this really helped! Love your channel!!!
this video was worth it just for John's self peripheral vision test. lol.
I've literally been training to bring my sight to my left eye facing forward in my training. Little awkward at first but it works. I just might do this instead
Thank you for the video. I have struggled as a right handed shooter and having a left dominant eye. You have helped me out so much. Keep up the content for the people, much appreciated. Love the content, humor, and help you offer to the people. God Bless.
Great content on this channel, just bought my first for concealed carry this past week, an HK VP9SK, and I've been binge watching your videos and dry firing. Trying to build the good habits now that I have a clean slate
John, this has literally been “eye-opening”...I’ve been right eye dominant all my life, shoot well...but only with left eye closed...I’ve tried to train with both eyes open and my eyes would fight just like you described...UNTIL I saw this video and tried the head twist...guess what, like you mentioned, I’m right eye dominant at a distance but in near field of view, I’m apparently left eye dominant...I’m completely floored, what a revelation. Haven’t been to the range to test this out yet, but in dry fire practice, it was obvious and easy...I’m officially a right-handed, near field of view left-eye dominant shooter...any suggestions on how to adjust that same concept to firing rifles? Many thanks again!
I have an asigmatism and shoot with glasses and have the exact same problem. I wonder if the two are related. I have tried over and over to keep both eyes open and it never worked and I always fell back to shooting with my left eye closed and always feel guilty. I tried what John mentioned and it worked perfectly! It keeps your left eye from seeing the pistol sights while still seeing the target and surroundings. That allows the right eye to get a clear sight picture while still seeing the target clearly. Brillant! Thanks a million John! Train SMART!
Trex arms video covers that
Same problem for me... terrible astigmatism
Something tells me Mrs Poet might give john the dagger eyes for this one 😬 😂
Phil OConnor lol
Ain't NO way my honey would have done that one! UmmmmUmmmm NADA!!! Just sayin! LOL
No threat to her. Shooter was obviously winking at ME the entire video. I picked up on it early.
Mrs. Poet is not to be messed with. This is known through out this land... :)
She’s probably running a camera
I’ve been struggling with the blurred vision Turing my head has made a world of difference thank you
Great speaker with lots of experience plus a sense of humor--can’t ask for much more. Thanks for helping me become a better shooter.
The members lounge there is awesome
Any plans on the new psa ak's making an appearance on your Channel
That lounge may be awesome, but not as awesome as Mrgunsngear!😉
Do they have strippers👀
Clarence Smith you don't want strippers near MrGunsNGear, I've seen him in "movies" before
“I work upstairs in the members only section...” 😯 “...bartending” 😅 oh ok wasn’t sure what kinda shooting range this was for a minuet
Great, awesome video. Helped me figure it out. Thank you!!
This video was very helpful thank you for all you do
Like how relaxed you made her and already she was self correcting the eye issue. Great video keep them coming.
John would ever do a video with Mat from DemoRanch?
+1
They’re kind of in different lanes. None of demoranch’s vids are instructional, so I doubt they would ever do a collab.
@@zackstetson7243 I know. Yet I am sure that they share their audiences. Thats the only reason I suggested it.
Thomas O'Hanlon oh for sure. I watch both.
Have you ever noticed how much new shooters Smile? When they are in competent hands of course.
Thank you so much. I had so much problems identifying my left eye dominance and right handed. I went to my range and was so surprised at my accuracy. The best video on eye dominance by far.
Have only really been shooting for not even a year, and thanks to this video I realize I have an eye dominance issue. Thanks John and hope to attend one of your classes some day!
Now we know how John picked up Mrs. Poet in that bar where he met her. She winked at him and he just started teaching her about fixing eye dominance.
Yes, Thanks John! Got any upcoming tips for Astigmatism/aging eyes? Mine have never been 20/20 and after 36 years wearing corrective lenses they ain't getting any better. 🤓
Look up eye exercises. Youre eye muscles have just gotten weaker over the years.. U have to keep doing it, but surprisingly it does work
@@ANGeLEk1_89 They are like Kegels for your eyes.😋
They actually work?
XS BIG Dot sights for handguns and a gold reticle on a Dot scope. *I also have Astigmatism*
Thanks for the replies, I had an IEP in school since 1st grade in P.E. for eye-hand coordination, depth-perception, and fine motor skills, on top of progressively near sighted w/Astigmatism and color-blindness ... ya know cause putting a 1/4" projectile somewhere Tens-Hundreds of yards away is too easy without that challenge. Lol 🙂👍
Thank you for this video. You helped me learn how to overcome eye dominance issues.
Thank you. I’ve been struggling with this
Is the war poet coming to Canada? I might buy one even with looming threat of confiscation just to support the cause.
A little trick our instructors showed us during high school was to put a peice of tape on your glasses over your non dominant eye.
Awesome information thank you, big fan of your channel
Was extremely helpful thanks so much!!!!!!
The thumbs down is from Mrs. War poet..😬
You win the Internet 😆
Oh yeah buddy 😂
😂😂😂
She’s married fellas check the rock on that finger. Lol
She's a sweety. You notice the girls willing to try shooting seem to be nice people.
@Hang M. High Thank you for your service sir!
We haven't seen John pull in one of those coke bottle glasses, knitted toboggan wearing SJWs to train.
She follows instruction, and is not a know it all. That is a great quality.
I agree. She is in the public eye a lot (pun intended) no doubt, but handles herself well. John is an excellent promoter because he is sincere and operates out of conviction I'm sure. Women who are willing to learn how to shoot have a pioneering spirit. They're not afraid of what their girlfriends think.
@@jeffcooper9363 Completely disagree with your last statement. Women that I know who shoot see TONS of their friends very jealous and want to go shooting with them. The ones who do and stick with it tell their friends and so on. THIS is why you are seeing more women at the range. I'm easily seeing 60/40 and (depending on day, time, etc.) more women than men. It's fantastic!!!
You just solved a boat load of my issues with aim! Thanks!
I like the way you teach shooters and how you incorporate fun and enjoyment into the course because I believe people tend to try harder and thrive to accomplish the task at hand more so if they’re enjoying every aspect of the course, a relaxed mind will take in more information than a confused mind! Nicely done my friend.......
I'm gonna do that perifial vision trick with my wife. That's a pro level dad joke right there. Lol
I'm glad someone else picked up on that.
I JUST found out I’m left eye dom.
Being right handed I kind of freaked out.
Have to go drive around base in a Hummer with a periscope and panties taped to my eye now.
Sure you're not a Nick Cage fan?
I'm so glad to watch this video! I went shooting last month with a friend outdoors and it was only my second time. First time was about 15 years ago.
The targets were very far away.
I wear mono vision contacts - right eye close, left eye far and I had to close an eye every shot. Also, it was different for each eye.
I'm going to an indoor range tomorrow, I'm going to try this technique.
Thanks for the vids with your wife too. I'm a small person and watched the one with the Choo choo technique.
This gives me confidence I can learn and become proficient in handling a firearm.
God bless and stay safe. ❤🇺🇸
Love the video huge help such a difference I struggled shooting my pistol accurately consistently I get the double vision when focus on the front sight always closed my eye awesome stuff love the videos
It's hard for me to watch this video and hear anything John says that lady is BEAUTIFUL
pacemaker83 - you are weak ‘bro’.
Mr. Poet imagines bad guy, yells THREAT.. Ms. Poet immediately focuses all attention on gorgeous women that Mr. Poet is teaching fundamental skills too. Dam I envy you John. Hats off a couple times.
Nah, when you're already happily married to a gorgeous woman, anyone else is a downgrade.
Newbie, here thanks for your reply, purchased my first handgun Friday, 2020 HK VP9. Learning SOOO much from your vids, just learned I am left eye dominant, I have lots of astigmatism on my right eye. This video helped so much, thanks brotha!
Super helpful! Going to have to try the head turn next time at the range! Thank you!
