So I've been messing around dry-firing my pistols with both eyes open, and I have what some of you will consider a dumb question: Where should the focus be, on the target or the front sight, or does it depend on distance?
The reason I ask is that I've watched videos and asked people and I get different answers. It's easy for me to pick up the correct sight picture with both eyes open, but I find it easier to focus on the target than the front sight. This is especially true when the target is within 15 yards. If I squint a little or close my non-dominant eye, the opposite is true.
So, what is the correct way to do this? I just want to make sure I'm not going to start practicing and reinforcing improper technique.
