This is where I watched it: " onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
Copy and paste and it'll be available.
One of the major points of interest for me was when you keep both eyes open when shooting, you're peripheral vision is much greater. Close one eye while in a self defense situation you've then blocked out about 1/3 of your peripheral vision. Not good to say the least, most especially if you're being attacked by multiple attackers.
For most of my shooting life, I closed my non-dominant eye when focusing on the target.
For the past year or so, I've been forcing myself out this bad approach to shooting.

Keep Both Eyes Open When Shooting
I just finished watching a Youtube video about the importance of keeping both eyes open when shooting.
The presenter does a great job of why it's important and how to go about it.
One thing he repeatedly mentioned is focusing on the front sight.
This is something I've heard many times before, but what's never mentioned is: If you're focusing on the front sight, I assume you are simultaneously lining up the rear sight with it? Or, do you use only the front and don't bother with lining up with the rear sight?
Too me, leaving out this information regarding the use/or non-use of the rear sight while focusing on the front is confusing.
I'm probably the only knuckle head here who doesn't know the answer to this question. As you may guess, I'm extremely literal...
So, anyone know?
