Shooting with both eyes open

Anders · Nov 14, 2025

I've always shot with one eye closed, but lately I've heard that keeping both eyes open is better, especially for self-defense. I tried it yesterday and my aim got worse. The double vision was super distracting..do most people shoot with both eyes open?

Keep both eyes open, trust me. You'll be more aware of your surroundings, just really focus on that front sight

Thanks, I’ll keep working on it. The extra awareness makes sense, I just need more practice getting my eyes to settle on that front sight without the double vision

At first, I had trouble but shooting with both eyes open helped me get better
