I focus on the target. I made a post a while ago asking you guys for some advice to improve my groups, and many of you recomended that i change the way i aim (I used to focus on the pin) Since then, my groups have greatly improved!

Same here... I focus on the target. I can't shoot with both eyes open. I just can't. Things get all "freaky" when I try.

RE: Focus on pin or target?

Absolutely positively I am focused on nothing but the X. The human eye has a nack of centering things up, the pin will go where it needs. Your focus and attention needs to be on what you want to hit. You don't steer your car by looking 2 feet in front of the bumper at the road do you? You steer by looking a long ways down the road and let your subconsious line things up to get you there. Amazingly enough you usually stay between the lines.......
