Re: Aiming properly with both eyes open

I had assumed that most people shoot with both eyes open. Now I wonder if it is the other way around.

Interestingly I keep both eyes open while looking through the viewfinder of a camera. I didn't think that was unusual until someone pointed it out to me.

I don't know why I prefer it that way and I don't know how eye-to-brain stuff works. Maybe a vision specialist will tell us.

Re: Aiming properly with both eyes open

I shoot with both eyes open. It feels natural to me. I am right-eye dominant, but did not know it until someone pointed it out to me. It never mattered to me which I was dominant.

I even shoot rifle with both eyes open. Again it is natural for me. It seems to me that if you shoot with both eyes open, it doesn't matter which eye is dominant for any particlar situation; that the brain should integrate the scene.

I'm not a vision specialist. I'm just musing.
