thanks for the info just at the right time to cause i think i got the panic now alittle off topic but in one of the pictures what is on your friends cap????? on the peak?
I believe you are referring to this picture.That is a basically just a blinder so you don't use the wrong eye to aim with.Some people use these because they are are cross eye dominant or are shooting with the wrong eye and to make sure they use the correct eye,they use the blinder.
It is preferred over closing an eye because when you close an eye,there is tension in the face and it is harder to relax for the shot.There are also some people that can't close an eye and they will use this as well.
There could be more reasons but these are the most common.
