the low ready is the patrol carry he is talking about, and the high ready is the low ready he is talking about.

I went from playing with toy guns, to video games, to airsoft, to paintballs, now i have a gun license and im ready but 1 question i had about left/right handed, im a left hander and i feel more comfy when i pick up a rifle on the left side but I can shoot either way but when i do the strong eye test my right eye is stronger/accurate so which way should i shoot? right eye dominate or left side since its more comfy? my chief firearms instructor says i can train my other eye but its very hard so?

[excurrahee]

@oREDLINEo Try both and see what works best for you. It sounds like your right eye is not strongly dominant so I would probably work from the left hand, practice shooting with both eyes open. Look for a video on here called "shooting: both eyes open"

I don't understand why people watch this without watching Part 2 also

i have a question for you, fire weapons are ilegal in my country, but im interested in improve my combat skills (history has showed that combat skills are usefull in a lot of situations, in my concern every citizen would know at least how to use a pistol), any way, i could buy an airsoft replica, the question is "can you use a replica to train some aspects of marksmanship and tactical shoting?" or its totally useless, htanks for your great videos

@curseofa5r5a Sorry it's taken so long to answer. Without access to real firearms I think airsoft stuff is about as good as you can get. Their have been several Japanese pistol competitors that trained at home using airsoft. You just need to understand the limitations of airsoft as a training tool and not become complacent because "it's not a real gun."

@oREDLINEo Im right-handed but left-eye dominant due to a weird eye problem that doesnt allow me to properly focus my right eye, so I generally shoot left handed. It works a lot better for me because I just cant see properly out of my right eye anymore, especially at distance. I think it's easier to train yourself to be ambidextrous than it is to fight limitations with your eye but that's just what has worked for me. You've probably figured something out by now anyway, though.

Great vids I enjoyed. Thanks!

@oREDLINEo should shoot right side but still pratice with both

[ID663912]

@oREDLINEo My mom is kindof like that, right handed and left eye dominant. She shoots just fine she just cranes her neck to the side a bit more lying her cheek on the rifle to use her left eye. With a pistol she rests her head on her shoulder. Shooting instructors told her she should switch eyes or train with the other hand but why fix what isn't broken.

[oREDLINEo]

@excurrahee Ok I will try both eyes open shooting and see whats best but my first rifle is going to be a bolt action so i guess i can shoot either way right? Not like spent caseings will hit me in the face. Thanks for the advice good videos to

@SaturnVader wow thats pretty interesting becouse i think i need some firepower, but my question is, how much money and material did you use to build this gun and how can i improvise my own ammo?
