[QUOTE="Teri Anne, post: 2349086, member: 118816"] Well this is somewhat of a personal thing. When shooting a pistol in combat type training I keep both eyes open so that I can see what is going on around me. It's called, "Situational Awareness." One always wan't to know what is going on around them when in close quarters in a defensive situation. Rifle shooting is quite different, especially these days with optics and rifle scopes. I am not much for optics since they require batteries which have the inane ability to go dead at the most inopportune moment. For rifles one cannot beat iron sights like those on the M14 and M16 for accurate shooting. In the real live world these daze as a civilian one cannot beat the advantages of a quality rifle scope which for the most part requires one eye shooting primarily because the brain cannot compute the difference between the scoped eye and the bare eye which results in shooting errors. On the other hand one cannot properly compensate for scope parallax when shooting with a scope with both eyes open. As mentioned above when it comes to shooting I was taught to be able to shoot both rifle and pistol from either right or left hand positions. Shooting combat or competition, especially pistol...one who can shoot from either hand and either eye has a definite advantage over those who can only shoot from one side or the other. Shooting barricades is a piece of cake while maintaining maximum cover from either hand, especially when one can do it with both rifle and pistols. The challenge is to train yourself to be able to shoot either right or left handed and still be able to shoot accurately. [/QUOTE]
