Aw crap,
I just use a shotgun as shotguns are pointed - not aimed.
'Sides
everyone knows [tm] one can't miss with all them pellets.

Used both eyes. It did not matter if any of his 1300s in 12, 20, 28 ga or .410 had a bead on the barrel or not, if he could see it, he could fell it.
Fluid and smooth with no wasted motion like "Painting them out of the sky".
I've stood right there as he did this, be it clay, duck, dove or quail.
Live long enough and age takes its toll. Fred was older, aches, pains, problems and blind in one eye.
He was still able to Paint them out of the sky.
The reality is, as Fred and so many have shared throughout the years, is not everyone is built at the factory the same way.
It happens.
So one has to do what one has to do to live life on life terms.
Seasoned shooters that can access and assist are worth their weight in gold to folks born like this, or during life suffer a set back.
I get the patch off my weak eye, and turn right back around one weak later and have to wear another.
Odd that even with safety glasses, with side shields, something in my work would get past them safety glasses.
Odder is having safety glasses with side shields and a face shield, and do this again.
Eye Doc/ Surgeon is a relative of mine, and a shooter.
"This just don't happen" he said and we discussed some additional safety measures, he came to see the task that was causing this.
I get the patch off the weak eye the second time, and 2 weeks later in a business related matter, I mess up my right eye.
Short version, a car wreck, I was evading someone being mean...
I had Chuck Yeager eyes at the time. Still I was wearing my Ray Ban Aviators when I had that wreck.
At night I wore my Bushnell clear Aviators I shot in. [shooting glasses]
Something suggested from a defensive driving private instructor or three.
Protect the eyes , and when matters get serious, you gotta see to evade and take action.
Sure am glad my Mentors and Elders made a big deal out of lessons, learning and doing the odd stuff they did with me.
Both eyes and strong side down so doing everything weak handed.
Dominant eye down and doing both strong and weak hands
Weak eye down and doing both strong and weak hands.
One never knows when they will find themselves having to do ADLs [Activities of Daily Living] different.
Might be something from birth, accident or injury, temporary or permanent.
Not a good idea to so hard headed one cannot be receptive to reality.
