Shooting rifle with two eyes open

Same here. The tip I heard a year or so ago was to practice dry fire with both eyes open in front of the TV. The motion in the background really helps set your dominant eye to focus and the non-dominant eye to relax during a sight picture.

Damn, this is a cool idea. I'm going to see how it pans out.

It's all in the bird hunting. Close one eye and miss the 2nd bird. It just takes practice.

I was at the range this weekend helping a unit of the Army Reserve for weapons training, and saw one of our members that is a 1K yard shooter at Camp Perry that had glasses on with one lens red, and the other clear. I didn't have time to ask why.
Anybody know about this? He shoots left handed.

It's because the red lense lets equal light intensity to affect both eyes while still allowing him to keep both open. If he were to use a solid piece of tape or something like that, the dilation of the pupil from the non dominant eye would affect the dilation of the dominant (open) eye. Involuntary simpathetic dilation.
