[QUOTE="cfvickers, post: 405242, member: 25488"] If you are right handed and left eye dominant, as I am, It is almost impossible to shoot accurately with both eyes opened. I even have to shoot a shotgun with either a tape over my left lens or with the left eye closed. It is a bit of a disadvantage but after shooting my whole life it has become natural and I no longer see any disadvantage. When I was learning to shoot skeet the instructor tried to get me to keep both eyes open until he noticed I was shooting a mile ahead of targets moving left to right and behind targets moving right to left. He told me to do it my way and how to hold and I started hitting them. With a rifle I can't even align right eye with the scope unless my eye is closed. It's true that it can cause a headache but if, like a previous poster said, you don't squint and just keep your eye in a natural closed position you will be able to sit at your rifle longer without a problem. if you are shooting with your dominant eye, then you should easily be able to shoot with both eyes open.
