Damn I was part of this sport but without success, brings certain nostalgia. I will always tear up a lil at the smell of gun cleaning oil.
I really, really sucked at it though haha, found out recently my dominant eye is left one and not the right one 😭
That should have been one of the very first things you learned. You had really bad coaching.
Well she was… an interesting person. Constantly mad more often than not. The coach I mean
Though I am not surprised when my friend aimed the .22 at her once accidentally. Must be a hard work
Okay, so maybe that should have been the first thing she taught!
I guess some folks require higher amount of repetition than others
I’m a right handed left eye’d shooter also. Which is weird since I’m near sighted as fuck in my left eye.
Cross-eye dominance is a bitch to deal with when shooting.
