400 rounds in
The PPX is still shooting like a champ. I bought an UpLula for it, since loading double stack mags is a pain, and frankly? I wish I had had it much sooner. Pounding through 100 rounds was painfully fast (I then wished I had brought another 200) and after about the first twenty I actually started to be able to shoot it and hit stuff. I still aspire to suck at it, but it’s less horrible than before.
Helped a friend get settled into a new rifle and scope. He’s got no vision to speak of in his right eye, and through experimentation we have discovered that with high scope rings he can get a decent cheek weld and look through the scope with his left eye. I did ten rounds with it myself, five with the right and five with the left, it turns out I can shoot pretty good left eyed. Certainly, it gives one pause, if you ever lost your eye could you shoot a rifle? Turns out I can.
Beautiful day. Hope to get some shit done, but mostly I hope to get some napping in before the week comes back to wreck me.
Thanks for stepping up and helping a buddy out. And nice knowledge to have…
NO. NO. NO.
When you have cross dominant eye and hand, the correct technique is to teach the person to use their right eye, right hand.
If the eye doesn’t work, you just must be a bad teacher.
I already know im a bad teacher.
I was teaching someone and discovered she was left eye, right hand shooting and not hitting anything. Interesting thing is, she was right eye dominant. There was no reason for her to be using her left eye other then not knowing any better (all previous teachers having failed to notice).
A lot of that out there.
