I'll have to work on this. I have always shot with one eye closed (except when using a laser). When I try your method, either my thumb doubles up or the target does. I'll work on it. Thanks for the info.saj111 wrote:this is how i taught my daughter to shoot with both eyes open:
hold your strong hand out, arm extended, thumb up. focus on the thumb nail. with both eyes open, move the arm to target positions (the tv, a lamp, etc.) always keep your focus on the thumb and both eyes open. if you see the thumb double, you should move it slightly toward the dominant eye side. once you can raise the thumb and focus properly (single picture) start aligning it with targets. always follow the thumb as you should your front sight.
once you master this, switch to an EMPTY GUN!!!!!!!!!!!! and transfer this to the front sight. always focusing on the front sight and align the target with it.
you have to teach yourself to keep both eyes open while focusing with your dominant eye. this is the easiest way i have found to teach this and it has worked teaching many shooters.
let me know how it goes.

Re: One eye two eyes aiming
I keep one eye closed for target/range shooting.
