How do you guys shoot? I shoot with one eye closed right now, but something tells me I should switch to both eyes open.
This is the one thing that I do different fundamentally from firearms. I shoot one eye opened with a bow, but with all handguns, rifles and even magnified optics its both open. When teaching any of my firearms courses I just tell my students to do what's natural.
I tried switching to both eyes last year during the season because I had a wider field of view....i was inconsistent and missed a couple deer and decided to go back to one eye. It seems that with both eyes open I was having a harder time finding the correct anchor point (I know it doesn't really make sense). This past off season I practiced with both eyes open and found my consistent anchor point and I've been doing much better, both in the woods and target shooting.

I'm a cheater.... Squint with non-dominant eye to get my focus and then open both once I am settled in....
Who needs their eyes open? Lol, one eye open for me as well. I have trouble getting my front ring lined up properly with my peep with both eyes open.
I want to give both eyes a try, sounds like I should probably hold off until the season is over to be safe. Thanks for the replies!
I shot both eyes open, bow, scoped rifle, shotgun etc...... My groups go to crap when I close one eye.
I am right handed but left eye dominant, I find that having both eyes open messes me up so I stick to using my right eye only.
I try to use both eyes but if I notice my non-dominant eye trying to take over I squint it some or at least blink a couple times.
Dude... You are all messed up! Your eye dominance determines if you shoot left or right handed. I bet you would be a better shooter if you would learn to shoot left handed. I know this. I am right handed, left eye dominant, and shoot left handed.
Yeah, for me the point of impact moved right about a half inch at 20 metres Sent from my HTC_PN071 using Tapatalk
