Why is it necessary to shoot with both eyes open or with the dominant eye?
For centuries the accepted way to shoot everything was with only one open eye, the one right behind the sights.
It still works, so why not use it?
Trying to shoot with both eyes open often results in double vision, especially at sight distances.
So, just squint the off hand eye until it no longer interferes, and use the strong hand eye for sighting.
It works well for shooting with either hand, two handed, as well as long guns.
In between shots, both eyes are wide open again in order to see normally.
