Learning Step / Activity 2. Conduct Dominant Eye Training
We will now show you how to determine your dominate eye. This is done as follows:
a. Cut a 1-inch circular hole in the center of an 8 by 10-inch piece of material (can be anything from paper to plywood).
b. The trainer positions himself approximately 5 feet in front of the Soldier. The trainer closes his non-dominant eye and holds his finger up in front of and just below his dominant eye to provide the Soldier with an aiming point.
c. The Soldier holds the training aid with both hands at waist level and looks with both eyes open at the trainer’s open eye. With both eyes focused on the trainer’s open eye and arms fully extended, the Soldier brings the training aid up between himself and the trainer while continuing to look at the trainer’s eye through the hole in the training aid. The Soldier’s eye the trainer sees through the hole in the training aid is the Soldier’s dominant eye.
