One Eye or Two?

[LESS THAN FORTUITOUS KENNETH]

I always focus with one eye, then open both to shoot with, as it is less stressfull. This works for most people. If, however, you suffer from Ben Turpin syndrome, using one eye is preferable, as when using both eyes, four targets appear. Failing that, take up fishing.

both eyes shut hence the reason for me being a ****e shot

beat me too it

I usually shoot with both eyes open, helps that I'm quite left eye dominant.

[kieran turner]

both eyes open for me

[Nealsey]

Left eye is knackered and all blurry anyway, so the more it's closed the
better I see

[Enthusiast]

Both eyes open if you can, shutting the non shooting eye is an additional muscular strain for some - I can feel it twitching - if you have to block it, best not to use an eyepatch (ie right over the eye) as it can fool the irises into opening up too wide. use a cunningly angled hat(you can get the shooting hats with drop down sides to the peak which, twisted to the side, can be very effective) or, as has been suggested a scope cover to block it
out.

A Butler Creek set to open at 90 degrees to the left of the scope works a treat.

Don't you mean 180 degrees, thats how i shoot with both eyes open

[markone]

Both eye's open but what your happy with I think as said you can try a eyeshield

[Terry D]

Both open. Less muscular tension and the eyeball is the finest wind-detector of them all.

For hunting especially, why on earth would you reduce your field of vision by 50%? Keep 'em open. Not like this ----->

[p70shooter]

Got to be both open for me

[Murphy]

What do you do if you're right handed but only have one eye; the left? Just curious

Your ****ed.
