I'm cross-eye dominant (right handed and left eye dominant) How do I deal with the ejection on semi auto rifle rifle ? (or it's a false problem)

That’s what brass deflectors are for.
Some rifles also have reversible ejection ports.

small note i tried some "workarround", like using an eye patch, blocking a side of my glasses or whatever: doesn't work for me.
I shoulder on the left side.

I also have this worry after my bolt action 22 ejected the brass right into my face.

> brass deflectors
i forgot about them
> reversible ejection ports
I never seen one that isn't a bullpup

You should be shooting with both eyes open no matter what. It works on red dots, iron sights (pistol and rifle), ACOGs, LPVOs, etc. You have to train yourself but once you learn it, the image from your dominant eye will blend with your non dominant eye and you'll just see one large view of what you're aiming at.

>>63851407 (OP)
get a left handed rifle and learn to shoot it.

>>63851407 (OP)
eye dominance only matters for iron sights and lots of people close their other eye even when not cross dominant. for red dots and other sights eye dominance doesn't matter.

>or it's a false problem
Cross-eye dominance is a real thing, and it is a 'nerf' so to say, but it's not absolutely critical and ruinous either.
For just regular hunting, regular sport shooting, self-defense, combat in a military setting, etc, you're gonna (presumably) have practiced and gotten used to it and you're gonna do fine, you can even become a quite good marksman in spite of cross-eye dominance, as long as you practice and apply yourself. All the same fundamentals remain the same.

Cross-eye dominance starts becoming a bit of trouble at higher levels of competitive sport shooting, where every little bit starts adding up and counting, because you're competing with a lot of people who are really fucking good at this thing.
This can still be helped, which, if you saw some of that Olympic footage a while back, is why you saw some of those guys wearing those things which cover one of their eyes, being their dominant eye, so that their non-dominant eye can focus on the task at hand. This is allowed at high level competition. Some people instead choose to learn to shoot with their other hand, which is doable, but more work.

So, the short of it is that cross-eye dominance is really not a good thing by any metric, but it's not a catastrophe either, you can deal with and adapt to it.

>You should be shooting with both eyes open no matter what.
Ideally, and especially in a combat situation, but if you're not ever expecting that you might end up in a combat shooting situation, it's less important. It's fine to close one eye while taking aim at an eminently edible deer, you're not gonna get flanked by another deer with an AK.

i've pretty much get used to use a rifle on the left. It's no longer an issue. (also i shoot both eyes open)

But my question is how much fucked I am with the ejection, when i'll switch to an ar or ak. There brass deflector but the issue might still be present.
Left handed ar before someone ask: never seen one (and i searched) in my country.

>>63852642
small out of subject: i need to rewatch this series again (Sledge Hammer!)

>>63851407 (OP)
what's the problem?

>>63852642
That's one approach, but he could also just learn to deal with it. Hell, some left-handed people opt to just shoot rifles and shotguns from their right shoulder anyway, it makes much less of a difference for those compared to pistols (which usually are pretty ready to accommodate them from out of the box in this day and age, just flip the controls during dissasembly).

The issue is non-existent with an AR. The brass deflector sends brass forwards. I practice shooting mine with both eyes/hands, nothing comes back at you. Sometimes gas escapes the rear of the upper, but that happens regardless of which side you hold it on. I have no idea about AKs, I haven't shot one since the 90s and can't remember if they have deflectors.

There's replacement charging handles which alleviate this, mainly meant for suppressor use where this can get annoying.

>>63851407 (OP)
I'm left handed, have the same eye issues as you and a bunch more and i'm old enough that in basic training i had left handed drill sergeants with facial scars from ejected cartridges getting stuck in their helmet straps telling me how to deal with it.

Just adapt to it. If it's a AR platform accuracy isn't a issue, where the brass falls is.

>>63851407 (OP)
It's literally not a real problem. The AR-15 has a brass deflector for a reason.

>>63855572
There's even A1(ish) uppers with brass deflectors, if you wanted to build something retro.

Unironically, I just trained myself to be fully ambidextrous. I was originally left handed, but felt it worthwhile to train to the other side. Now I can switch between them seamlessly. It'll be super awkward to start with but the more you do it the more natural it'll come to you

>>63853733
the worst part about that is he is using a aug which literally allows you to swap the ejection side from right to left with a fucking plate.

Op here
thank for the info. I'm still a new shooter (as you have probably guess, in september It will be one year). Thank i'm a bit more confident toward the AR route

Ambidextrous chads are the only sentient humans.

Monodextrous cattle need not apply.

i have/had this problem i was seemingly able to train my right eye by just forcing myself to shoot with it a bunch, ive gotten good at keeping both open

>>63851407 (OP)
I am cross dominant. I shoot normal right-handed long guns left handed, I can shoot right handed in a pinch just not as accurately. Ejection port hasn't been an issue for me, prob depends on the rifle. I shoot handguns normally right handed but with more of an isoceles stance so I can aim with my left eye, and I keep both eyes open.

I didn't know about cross dominance for a long time and that fucked me up trying to force myself to aim with my right eye. Waste of time. Aim with your dominant eye and learn how to shoot and operate left handed instead, much easier.

>This concern is only a problem for competitive shooting where the time gets measured and a trophy is on the line if you're fast enough, but in defense or combat where no one measures the time and the only thing that depends on how fast you are is just whether you get shot to death, it doesn't matter.
This and everything else, according to someone on /k/, every day.

>>63856834
Same bro

>>63851407 (OP)
Squint with one eye. I'm left eye dominant and right handed and if i squint with my left eye, I still get a full sight picture

>>63856971
That's a very retarded comparison, because high-end competitive shooting isn't like combat in any sense at all, you're often allowed a lot of time in a lot of competitions even.
Would it be to your advantage in a combat situation to not be cross-eye dominant? Probably.
Would the difference this provides in precision be a deciding factor in you living or dying? Unfathomably fucking unlikely.

It's the same reason why the M4A1 doesn't shoot subMOA groups, the infantry rifle does not need to be able to do it to do a good job.
