greener said:if you close one eye the pupil in the open eye dilates a bit, making it harder to focus, according to a Bullseye shooter, Dr. Norman Wong.
rjs said:I've been trying to learn to shoot with both eyes open for shooting plates. At age 60 with tri focals, I had a hard time switching over to both eyes open after years of shooting with one eye open. I had some prescription glasses made that had the right eye (dominant) focused on the front sight and the left eye focused on distance. This works much better for me and I think I'm gaining but I find, when shooting in competition, I revert to closing the left eye. I just need to practice more, I think.

Your brain will have just one more thing to deal with (that it doesn't need) at the moment of truth, if you don't train to shoot both eyes open. Things just won't "look" right.
Like anything else, it a learned skill and isn't hard to acquire if you PRACTICE.
