[QUOTE="nwcp, post: 404651, member: 20676"] Your peripheral vision is very sensitive to movement. In a combat situation you are effectively blinding yourself to anything approaching you from your weak side with one eye closed. Same goes for hunting. I've trained myself to leave both eyes open with my rifles scoped, or not as well as my handguns. Concentrating on the crosshairs isn't problematic with both eyes open. It just takes practice like anything else. Competition shooting, or bench shooting are different situations. [/QUOTE]
