What's your preferred method? I'm no expert shooter but do enjoy going out on our property and putting some rounds down range. I have always been shooting with my weak eye shut. Not a great shooter but I hit the target. I'm reading more and more tactics and see a general consensus is shooting with both eyes open. I tried practicing this with an unloaded weapon and placing a target on my wall. I finally had a chance to try it out with live rounds and my shooting has seemed to have improved. My trouble is keeping my strong eye focused on the sights, it seems my mind keeps switching focus between my strong and weak eye. Any advice on how to make this a little easier? Also is it better to shoot both open, it makes sense because you can use your Peripheral Vision and have a better field of view. If shooting both eyes open is recommended is there a time where closing the weak eye would be necessary?
