Do you shoot with your non-dominant eye closed?

Featured Replies

I learned (was taught) to shoot with both eyes open but find that I shoot more accurately with the non-dominant eye closed.

Both eyes open always. In competition, I put a blinder on the sight if I can (smallbore) or on my glasses, (bullseye). A small round sticker placed properly works well. Trap and skeet, you need both eyes.

I shoot with both eyes open.

Pistol and rifle, only the dominant eye is open. Shotgun, both are open.

Handgun - both eyes usually

Rifle with red dot - both eyes

Rifle with irons - will use the eye of the side I'm shooting from and close the other eye

Shotgun - will use the eye of the side I'm shooting from and close the other eye

 

Been thinking about trying the tape over the non-dominant eye thing for clay shooting, but haven't done it yet.

I do the same.

I shoot with my non-dominant eye closed. But I'll switch eyes, hands, and open both eyes. Just to mix it up.

always shoot both eyes open unless its a magnified scope.. then only dominant open..

I've tried the two eyes open thing... Just call me squinty.

never ! -

good question... Pretty sure I "turn off" my left eye when concentrating on the front sight, but I think its still open...

I'm trying to train myself to shoot both eyes open. It's working okay with the rifle and shotguns, but handguns are tough.
