Okay, now that it's in my head ... we had candy necklaces as a kid. We have 3 foot long gummy worms. And 10 pound gummy bears.
Somebody step up and make candy weapons!
Re: Eye dominance and fighting - I think the rifle one makes sense, since you close one eye when sighting to shoot. I think. I do that with a bow, so I guess a rifle is the same. For martial arts, I'd say it's a lot less likely to affect so greatly, unless it messes with depth perception.

i fight with my eyes closed and screaming like a lil girl

This entire subject got me thinking and I will say this.
Eye dominance is subjective to one thing only. How you can focus sight and attention to a single point. Whether it be right eye or left eye, it boils down to the level of concentration and attention. At times when I bout, I focus straight forward in spite of the fact my right eye is stronger than my left eye. This has come from my training where I would make my sword cuts against a reflection of myself (in front of the TV, turned off) and I would slowly let my eyes and mind process the cut or thrust or technique I would perform. Slowly progressing with more speed as to allow the muscle memory and visual memory work together. I suggest Thoresteinn that you give it a try and let me know.
Thorsteinn:
I forgot to say I'm astigmatic and have eye convergence issues.
They are both mild enough I can filter them out with my glasses correcting for one or the other, but when I fight I'm not wearing glasses. The pic below hopefully shows what I see like without my glasses. This may have been caused by head trauma some 25 years back.

Have you consulted an eye doctor about correcting your acuity via any procedure??
