    Shooting AR with an eye patch, anyone?



    My vision gets blurry fast when closing one eye so I bought one to see if it'll help. I will find out this Saturday if I made a wise investment.

    I thought we were talking two different applications.

      As long as you've crossed the equator at the prime meridian you can do whatever strikes your fancy.

          Shoot with both eyes open,(less eye strain for clearer vision),and drink water for improved clarity with vision before shooting.
          Keep it simple!

                A blinder or a piece of tape over your glasses is better, your eye will be more relaxed.

                  I rely so much on one eye to keep the target in focus. Don't know how you guys can do it with both eyes open.

                  Hmmm ..... this will be a good experiment. I'll try this one too. Thanks.

                    I started off with the bad habit of one eye open only, but when I focused and practice it took only a few days to focus in my dominant eye with both eyes open, I can do it on my handgun sights or my rifle scope now, it's 2nd nature, I don't have to think or focus anymore. Definitely practice with both eyes, don't use the patch or it'll just become harder to retrain your brain.

                          I've seen a few people use a rectangular piece of foam with a hole cut off to one end to fit over the eyepiece. The excess amount blocks the view of the other eye. 2"x8" roughly of foam 1/2" thick.

                            Ideally, you want some ambient light coming into that other eye. What I use for Service Rifle is a set of clear safety glasses with opaque scotch tape over the left lens on the inside. Scores improved.
