After reading this thread for specific reason, I am surprised at some of the responses.
There is a darn good reason why some folks find it easier and more accurate to shoot with one eye closed. There is a medical reason! Most brains differ in the way they process visual information and that is a given. Read any good medical book and you will see that this is a fact of life. Some will be comfortable shooting with both eyes open and others will not. For some, their brains wll not process the information that will allow them to shoot comfortably
Personally, I used to shoot with both eyes open but after several eye surgeries I had to learn to shoot with my non dominant eye. I shoot handguns right handed, using the left eye. I had to learn to shoot all over again and I am now very comfortable doing so. Now, if I use both eyes I will not be able to focus on the target.
I have a couple of friends that also shoot using one eye, they dont have any medical reasons but they have both tried to shoot with both eyes open and their scores drop drastically and they say it is so hard to focus.
So I dont care which side of the fence you sit on, Let individuals choose their own style of shooting and dont say they are wrong for shooting as they choose, It is their choice!.
Hope no one ever tells me which eye or eyes to shoot with, the response might not be too polite.
After 40 years of shooting handguns I am quite capable of anylizing what it takes for me to shoot targets that I am happy with. This is probably true for most others too.
