    Always two eyes.

    If you find the picture in the non-scope eye distracting, arrange a butler creek so that when you have it open, it obscures the view.

    Always two eyes open but use an eyeshield to obscure the other eye.

    Both eyes open?

    Are we talking Shotgun here?

    Target shooting through a scope is a one eye jobby as is sighting on opens normally BUT if your using RED DOT sights THATS a 2 eye open job.

    Shotguns are a 2 eyes open job too but not essential. I find lining up the rib with one eye then when i have it lined up right open the other and find your target and squeeze the trigger

    2 eyes open, but I had to change over to shooting left handed to achieve it.
