Okay, pistol instructor hat is on now. People fall into three basic categories (Okay, five, but two of the categories are cross dominant and blind and blind isn't really the target audience here and cross dominant folks have to make their own way with long guns). Some can naturally shoot both eyes open, some can never shoot both eyes open no matter how hard they try, and the majority of people cannot do it naturally but can train themselves. It may take a while to train yourself. Took me about three weeks at about 5-10 minutes per day. Hold an object at arms length, whether it's a pistol during dry fire, an ink pen held up, or even a finger extended upward (NOT THAT FINGER, JESSE!!!). Close your support side eye and focus on the object, then slowly open the support eye while trying to consciously focus on the object with your firing side eye. Close the support eye, slowly open it again while continuing to focus on the object. Repeat. If you are one of the folks who can train yourself to shoot both eyes open, you will eventually be able to focus on the object without getting blurred or double vision.
