Clay shooting is NOT an aiming sport such as rifle shooting. <p><strong>Key visual function skills can be considered to be the following:</strong><br /> &bull; Visual acuity and dynamic visual acuity. &bull; Anticipation. &bull; Stereopsis (depth perception). &bull; Peripheral awareness. &bull; Glare recovery. All of these key skills will be affected and in most cases, impossible without binocular vision i. The phenomenon of eye dominance is well established but its exact mechanism is poorly understood. <p><strong>What do we know? &bull; Eye dominance parallels the asymmetry of the brain that is divided into two hemispheres with complimentary functions. &bull; The depth of eye dominance is variable and can be overridden by the brain under certain circumstances. &bull; Cross dominance is a common occurrence and does adversely affect performance in sport as does shallow dominance under certain circumstances. <p><strong>What are our options in correcting dominance problems in clay shooting? 1. 2. <p><strong>Where does EasyHit! <p>&bull; EasyHit! &bull; For shooters with mixed or shallow dominance (middle vision), we can voluntarily deepen the dominance to ensure more consistent performance. &bull; For shooters with cross-eye dominance, we can override the habitual dominance without losing all of the important benefits of binocular vision. <p><strong>So in summary all of the critical visual skills required to perform well in our sport:</strong></p> <p><strong>&bull; Visual acuity</strong><br /> <strong>&bull; Visual field</strong><br /> <strong>&bull; Stereopsis</strong><br /> <strong>&bull; Target location</strong><br /> <strong>&bull; Anticipation</strong></p> <p>Are all reliant on maintaining binocular vision. https://easyhit.co.uk/blog/why-it-works Thu, 12 Nov 2020 10:08:41 +0000 Easy Hit https://easyhit.co.uk/blog/test-for-middlecentral-vision <p>It is generally considered that safe and consistent results are best achieved when shooting with both eyes open. Sadly, even if the test for cross eye dominance on the previous page shows that you have a 'correct' master eye there is still a strong possibility that your sight pictures and hence your hit rate will be affected by 'Middle' vision. <p>To test for &lsquo;Middle&rsquo; vision you need the assistance of a second person:</p> <p><strong>Step 1:</strong><br /> The assistant stands about 4 feet away facing you with one eye completely covered by their hand. <p><strong>Step 2:</strong><br /> You take the Easy Hit eyesight tester card or a CD in your 'trigger' finger and thumb. <p><strong>Step 3:</strong><br /> You raise the CD slowly at arms length straight up the centre of your body and view the visible eye of your assistant through the hole. <p><strong>Step 4:</strong><br /> The assistant looks through the hole and tells you what they see. They will be seeing images similar to those shown in the 3 pictures to the right. <p>Conversely, where middle vision has been confirmed, field trials show that there are a number of shooters who are lucky enough to have the effect corrected naturally by simply placing the gun in the shoulder. The gun produces such a distraction that the middle vision revealed in the test is overcome whilst shooting. <p>Eye dominance may be affected on a day to day basis for a variety of reasons e. <p>The Easy Hit Bead is guaranteed to eliminate the fluctuations of all degrees of middle vision and cross eye dominance, naturally, safely and instantly. <p style="text-align: center;"><img src="//easyhit-static.

If you are a left shouldered shooter close or cover your right eye with your right hand. <p><strong>Step 3 - Result</strong><br /> Does the object you were looking at through the hole vanish from view? <p><strong>Step 4 - Reason</strong><br /> If the object remains visible your Master Eye is aligned to the rib which is good news. <p><strong>However, If the object vanishes from view you have Cross Eye Dominance which needs correction in order to shoot accurately with both eyes open. &nbsp;</p> <p><strong><img src="//easyhit-static. <p><br /> So, during the test you started with both eyes open and then obscured or closed the eye not aligned to the rib. <p><strong>Step 5 - Remedy</strong><br /> You need to find a way of establishing the dominance in the correct shooting eye (the eye that follows the line of the rib) ideally without reducing your peripheral vision (breadth of view) or binocular vision (judging distance). <p>The EasyHit! <p><img src="//easyhit-static. https://easyhit.co.uk/blog/testing-for-eye-dominance Thu, 12 Nov 2020 00:00:00 +0000 Easy Hit https://easyhit.co.uk/blog/how-it-works <p>In fig 1 with no Easy Hit! <p>The shooter has locked onto the centre of the camera lens showing the dramatic effect of her cross eye dominance. &nbsp;</p> <p><img src="//easyhit-static. <p><br /> In this illustration with no Easy Hit! <p>In fig 2 the shooter has locked onto the centre of the camera lens showing the more subtle and harder to detect effect of her eye dominance. &nbsp;</p> <p><img src="//easyhit-static. <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>In fig 3 with the Easy Hit! <p>She is shown here again locked onto the centre of the camera lens showing the effect of her corrected view. &nbsp;</p> <p><img src="//easyhit-static. https://easyhit.co.uk/blog/how-it-works Thu, 12 Nov 2020 00:00:00 +0000 Easy Hit
