How do you check eye dominance?

A fellow shooter told me that I should check my eye dominance in order to see if I have to change my gun stock. How do I check it?

Very simple! With both eyes open, point your finger at something like a car, rock, whatever, that's about 50 feet away. Close one eye. If your finger appears to move away from the object, you have closed your dominant eye. Check it several times. If it works equally with either eye, you have no dominant eye. If, however, you obtain the same result time after time, you have a strong eye dominance. How to correct for that if your dominant eye is not the one behind the gun is a whole topic unto itself.

About half my students end up leaning their head with the one finger. Not sure why, but it happens. We went to creating a hole with your two hands. From there you shrink the hole until you can only see a single object in a distance. Shut your left eye and then open, repeat for right eye. The object will disappear with one of the eyes closed. Also try it without prescription glasses on, as if you look out the curvature of the correction then you may be viewing part of it distorted.
