About LinkBacksI see a lot of people talking about keeping both of their eyes open. Why would you be closing either of your eyes while shooting?

I think the typical "aiming" process includes closing one eye, since then you're able to "look down the sights" at the target.Originally Posted by Jay6

I am left handed, but am proficent either hand (still better left)
Jay6, I know that when I was taught how to shoot the school of thought was one eye open, now a days they are are teaching both eyes open.

Every time, maybe 20-25% of the time to make sure I've still got "it". I can't really explain "it", but I know it when I feel "it". It's like when people go to the range and fire every shot in SA when they carry a DA/SA in C2 and every shot is two-handed.

Interesting, I practice weak handed, but my IDPA shoots only occasionally do this. Time for a new COF, complete with eye patch. Though I don't know if they will allow one handed reload.

Shooting with both eyes open is what I know they teach for a majority of action pistol shooting, and I think it would carry over to SD as well. Being able to shoot with both eyes open I think increase your ability to see other threats and move from target to target much faster. Again just my opinion.
