[QUOTE="FearNoWind, post: 1081258, member: 50867"] Learning to use a scope with both eyes open was difficult for me because of all the distractions that fell into my field of vision. Images that aren't there when sighting with one eye closed. But I eventually got used to it. I don't accept the theory of "focusing" on either the target or cross hairs. The optics are in focus so applying that term to what I'm actually doing, which is concentrating on one or the other, is IMO a misnomer. Once I've established an alignment of the cross hairs on the target I concentrate primarily on the target and squeeze off the round. But that doesn't mean I don't know where the cross hairs are at all times. I can be confident of that because when I pull a shot off center I am immediately aware of that when the rifle fires.
