[QUOTE="sambo3006, post: 404952, member: 2740"] One thing that has not been mentioned is the fact that when you close one eye there will be some squint to the other eye which can distort the shape of the eye lens and blur vision a little, especially over long periods of time. If you have a dominant eye opposite of the way you shoot, the blinder or eye patch is the way to go. You can also train yourself to switch dominant eyes back and forth. When I shot on the varsity small bore rifle team in college we used to look through the spotter with our weak eye so as to give the dominant eye a rest. After a while I was able to look through the spotter with both eyes open. That was 20 years ago and I can still switch eyes with a little concentration when I want to shoot a rifle right handed.
