Re: Keep Both Eyes Open When Shooting

Peripheral vision means being able to "see" something (be aware of it) without actually focusing your vision on it. The concept of focusing on the front sight means to focus your vision on the front sight while "seeing" (being aware of) the rear sight in the proper alignment. Choosing not to worry about the rear sight becomes a type of "point-n-shoot", which can also work at close distances, but anything past 7 yards probably requires both sights be in play.

That is probably irrelevant to the topic at hand, but shooting with both eyes open also reduces tension in the face, and eliminates certain physiological changes to the open eye which you cannot control.
