If she's real good looking, both eyes open.

If she's average, one eye open.

If she's hideous, both eyes closed.

both eyes open. When I shoot bullseye I occlude one eye. WHen you close one eye you exert facial muscles to close that eye and the open eye is compensating (working harder) for that closed eye. I used to shoot with one eye closed and wonder why I had headaches after a long match. I put scotch tape over my non shooting eye.

Generally, good shooters are both eyes open while firing, as it promotes situation awareness and is easier on the 'eyes' as ren has pointed out.  If you are shooting very long distance, i can definitely see closing (or blocking) one eye to get a good focus.

If he's hideous, both eyes closed. But I wink once or twice to make sure.

There's also the Bindon Aiming Concept. I teach my Marines that when they keep both eyes open with the Trijicon ACOG (4x), they see the chevron with the magnified eye when they're holding over the target. When they whip the rifle around to find a new target, their non-magnified eye automatically takes over until they find a target and the magnified eye again takes over.

...doesn't mean I do that in practice, though. Just something that's part of their pre-qualification classes.

With the envention of the grocery "Brown Bag", 2 eyes are now safe....

All joking aside, it looks way cooler with 2 eyes open...... :thumbsup:
