| How do you determine which eye is dominant? |
|
Grab a sheet of paper and punch a quarter size hole in it. Hold it out at arms length, focus both eyes on something visible through the hole and slowly pull it toward your face while maintaining sight of the object. The eye that the hole ends up in front of is your dominant eye.

ETA: Ok, it switches eyes? |
You are part cyclops. |
ETA: The reason I posted this topic is because I have heard of the method of pointing as a distant object and then closing an eye to determine your dominant eye, however when I use that method it switches eyes them same as the paper with a hole method. |

An even simpler way is this:
My brother is left-eye dominant, but right-handed. I found out by noticing that he was firing right-handed, but using his left eye. When he shoots, I just have him close his left eye so he is forced to use his right eye. I'm kind of a special case. I'm right-handed, but left-eye dominant because I'm blind in my right eye. So I've simply taught myself how to shoot left-handed. |

Even simpler, make a circle with your hands and look at a doorknob across the room. Close one eye and then the other and see which eye the door knob stays in. I'm right handed and left eye dominate. When I switched to my left eye shooting a pistol my scores improved dramatically. I still shoot long guns with my right eye though.
