I went out skeet shooting. I got a 19/25 and 20/25. It would have been fun. Except for the insistence of the puller for me to keep both eyes open and focus on the target not the front sight.
I have heard this before. I currently keep both eyes opened when the clay bird is released. I start my barrel swing (both eyes are still open) and track the target with lead. The instant before I shoot, I close my left eye and fine tune my lead and barrel alignment with the bead at the end of my barrel. My barrel never stops moving and keeps moving after the shot.
It is almost a religious like zeal that these guys display towards their only acceptable method of shooting a shotgun. I am just not comfortable doing it their way and my results are decent.
Could there be more than one way to do it right?
