Anybody look through your scope with both eyes open?

[6MMsteve]

I started keeping my eyes open as I look through my scope, me wearing glasses and diabetic has actually helped, hope I don't go loopy doing that. am I the only one is there any other shooters out there that does this? Just wondering if there are any ill affects from using both eyes. Have a great day

If you don't in Short range Benchrest, you'll always be at the bottom of the winners list.

Yes, always have. Binocular vision helps me get on the target at any range. Then the scope takes care of the details.

Um thats the correct way... your not suppose to close an eye...

 

[Toolbreaker]

No ill effects that I'm aware of, but there are several pluses such as less eye strain, a better field of view, and the ability to watch for condition changes at closer ranges.

I use both eyes open to find the target whilst simultaneously focusing on the crosshairs. The only problems you may encounter is with certain eye dominance.

Funny I can't keep both eyes open. If I do I can't seem to see threw the scope.

 

[DOGCAPPER]

Thats the way us hunters do it.

 

[Phil]

Yup.....

Right eye dominant, keep both eyes open till i`m close to my intended target, then close my left eye and focus through the scope.....

I thinks depends on what your shooting and what your shooting at . Larry

I've on some days found that I get better groups if I shut both eyes.

Funny I can't keep both eyes open. If I do I can't seem to see threw the scope.

I wonder if you might be cross-eye dominant?

 

[M14AMU]

If you close the non-aiming eye you lose up to 28% visual acuity in the aiming eye!!

Shooting targets or hunting always both eyes open.

 

[6MMsteve]

that settles it I have been missing something lol

 

[Hollywood]

Every time I try both open, I have trouble with the focus switching back and forth between eyes.

 

[stacy]

ALL THE TIME FOR ME !!!!!!!!

 

[people]

[snert]

Nope I'm left handed and my right eye is basically blind as a bat
