    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.

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

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

    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.

    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 ----->
