[QUOTE="Greyfox, post: 2345143, member: 10291"] While I will shoot both eyes open, regardless, the much more important aspect of sight/target acquisition whether you are using a scope or open sights is to focus on the crosshair or front sight(with open sights). This becomes much more subtle, and difficult to achieve with a scope, with the eye seeing both the target and the crosshair on a single, dimensional plane. Particularly at long range, it is important to train the eye(s) to focus and concentrate on the scopes crosshair with the target backgrounded when the trigger breaks. This process is as much “mental” as it is “visual”. The brain wants to see the target get hit, taking attention off the crosshair. While this principal is standard practice with open sights , it is much debated with a scope, but once mastered, IMO, you will see an improvement in accuracy/precision. [/QUOTE]
