With both open you see twice as good seriously though I shoot both eyes open but you ahve to get used to it.

All depends on eye dominance, as thethread seems to be showing. I personally could never shoot with both eyes open until father time started catching up with me and one eye became more dominant.

I tried shooting with both eyes open before, than my left one closed, and and my groups were noticeably better with both open.

I shoot with both open,it gives better depth perception....

I am a left eye dominate right handed shooter, so I shoot with my left eye closed. Changing over to your dominate eye does not mean you are going to shoot any better using a site, unless you actually have vision problems with your shooting eye. Some of the best shooters in the world shoot with their non dominate eye!
Shooting with both eyes open will give you a bigger field of view, but not necessarily make you a better shot.

I shoot a shotgun left handed for upland bird hunting because of the bigger field of view on quick moving targets, but shoot just as good right handed if I close my left eye.

If I was young and going to shoot trad gear instinctively, I would teach myself to shoot with my dominate eye for the snap shots, the same reasons I shoot a shotgun left handed. But since I am not, and the last league I was on I held a mid 280's average with a 73 pound recurve, I will just continue to close my dominate eye!

Mind and bodycoordination should overrule eye dominance unless you actually have a vision problem in your shooting eye, However you do have a better field of view shooting with both eyes open.

both open, more accurate for me, and I can see the hit/reaction much better.

I have always shot with one eye open, with all this talk about shooting with both eyes open, I might try shooting with them both open. How do you tell wich eye is your dominent eye?
