    Both open: Balance and combat vision work better with both eyes.

      Both eyes open. Handgun for sure. Also when shooting my rifles with aperture sights. Once you learn how it's much better.

      They're not liberals, they're leftists. Please don't use the former for the latter. Liberals are Locke, Jefferson, Burke, Hayek. Leftists are progressives, Prussian state-socialists, fascists. Liberals stand against the state and unequivocally support liberty. Leftists support state tyranny.

        Both open, but admittedly, my dominant eye is easily 200% stronger than my non-dominant eye, so I might as well be closing one.

              I'm only smiling at you while you talk to me because it's hilarious that you really think I give a crap about you.

              As I've gotten older I thought I was gaining patience, then I realized I simply don't give a crap.

                  Both open when hosing close targets during run&gun.
                  One eye for longer range

                        both eyes pistol and shotgun, rifles with irons out to about 50m. After 50m my eyes are open then my non-dominate eye closes briefly for a sharper focus.

                            Iron, aperture or scope-one eye open. Red Dot both eyes open. Tried both eyes open on all types of sights and would loose vision of target in my dominate eye. Guess we ain't all the same, that's good.

                              Iron and red dot - I shoot with both eyes open

                              Magnified scope - I shoot with my left eye closed
