Maybe that works for shotguns. If I’m going to use iron sights on a handgun or rifle, it’s one eye shut or don’t use them.

The *only* sighting systems I can use effectively both eyes open are telescopic sights and red dot sights. I should mention that telescopic sights I can shoot both eyes open only if from a bench with time to concentrate. For speed / action shooting, red dot or I’m shooting one eye closed or partially closed.

“”With shooting, no one has ever come out with a proper explanation as to how it works,” he declares. “And this is how it works.””

He couldn’t even hit THAT mark. Sheesh.

Problem is that no one really explains either technique properly. So people just wind up screwing up both of them.

You shoot at still targets - those with little angular velocity. Clay targets are different.

Right handed shooter, left eye dominant is a common problem. Easier to shoot with left eye closed.

My last couple times at the range I’ve been trying to shoot with both eyes open. Still trying to dial it in.
