Hi All,
My son (8yrs old who is on the autistic spectrum) has been shooting for a little while now and we've only recently realised (since moving to longer distances) that he's left eye dominant. He's shooting compound with a peep sight and recurve pin (strange combination I know but he really likes it). At 10 and 20yrds he pretty much can keep it within the gold but at 30+ he's having to aim 9 o'clock black white.
He can't close his left eye (after many hours of trying) and he's hypersensitive and can't bear to wear an eye patch...so I guess I'm asking if there are any solutions other than trying to retrain him to a leftie...only thing is...he's pretty good and don't want to know his confidence. A club member has cunningly fitted a second sight pin to the first so that he can aim at 30 btw.
Many thanks for the advice as I know that if a big change has to be made, then it needs to be done sooner rather than later...
Kind regards,
Easytigers
