But sighting with the right eye and lining up the rifle on the right shoulder yet holding the barrel grip with the right hand and trying to get the left hand to the right shoulder to pull the trigger – VERY awkward.
I’m also firearms instructor. The way the man is shooting could indicate someone who is cross-eye dominant. Everyone has a dominant eye, and usually for right-handed people it’s the right eye (and vice versa). That means they look through the sights with the right eye and squeeze the trigger with the right hand. People who are cross-eye dominant are the other way around. I’m really familiar with this because I’m right-handed but left-eye dominant (really awkward with certain firearms btw).
It’s easy to figure out which is your dominant eye. Pick something far away and point at it with both eyes open. Still pointing, close your left eye, then open it and close your right. For one of your eyes your pointing finger will still be on target, for the other it will not. The eye that is on target is your dominant eye.
Jeez people ease up. I never said it was WRONG did I? As someone who’s hunted for over 40 years I’m simply saying that’s an AWKWARD way to hold a rifle. The way they hand on the trigger would have to be would not at all feel natural to myself or anyone else I’ve ever hunted with. I’ll stop commenting now, didn’t realize everyone was so dang sensitive here…
I know a couple of guy’s that are right handed but left eyed. They always pull the gun barrel to the left. This hunter looks like he is left handed but right eyed. Probably why he missed.
I just posted something about that above. Cross-eye dominant people can be good shots, but either need to learn to shoot with their “off” hand or they need to have the right equipment. I’ve opted for learning to shoot with either hand. I shoot rifle and shotgun left-handed, but usually shoot handgun right-handed. Really messes with people when they watch me shoot in 3 gun competitions. 🙂
No set schedule had been chosen just yet. CD’s working on figuring out what level of update frequency he can actually handle. I imagine that we’ll get it all ironed out within the next few weeks.
In regards to eye dominance, I don’t have the muscle control to close my left eye by itself, but by covering it with my hand, I determined I’m left-eyed (though I’m right-handed).
On a separate topic, I noticed the overlay for the left column link to “Sailor Ranko” says “Starts May 24th”, but the actual Sailor Ranko page currently says it will have new pages as of July 8th, 2021.
That would seem an awkward way to hold a rifle.

CD’s a professional hunting and gun safety instructor (among other things). I imagine that he knows a variety of viable ways to hold a rifle.

Not to put too fine a point on it, but I don’t think it’s *us* who are “so dang sensitive”.
Ah Waya is the wolf is her human form magical or scientific?
Yes.
That hasn’t been established yet, as far as I’m aware.

Sorry, I missed your post above. My father just wore an eyepatch whenever he shot.
I’ve known people who do that! I tried it but it drove me crazy.
Holding the scope that close to your eyeball is a good way to get a black eye or a trip to the doctor.
figured out the schedule for this comic? also, is there gonna be another page?

Thanks for the heads up! It seems that they’re restart of that comic got delayed.
Yep, he has his left eye closed. Clue that he is right handed but left eyed.
It looks more like the way you’d load a rocket launcher so that the blowback goes over your shoulder rather than into it.
“hold”, not “load”.
