Maybe I am an oddball (won' t be the first time), but until recently I have always shot with only one eye open--whether rifle, pistol, compound (back when I shot one), or traditional bow--even a slingshot. A few years ago someone noticed and brought to my attention (I already knew but hadn' t thought about it) that your depth perception is a WHOLE lot better with both eyes open, which means better judgement of distance.

I tried it a few times, but (don' t laugh) my dad-gum eyes would cross when I tried to concentrate on a spot and I would see two of everything--so I gave up. Recently, I decided to give it another go--a serious one. It about drove me nuts for a little while, but now, when I get it together, it works great. Bad thing is, it usually takes a few shots (or more) to get it together, and sometimes I loose it.

Today I shot in a tournament. At the practice targets, my first shot completely missed the bag--I about fell out. Several more shots were scattered all over the place, then I finally started grouping. Almost didn' t shoot, but I figured I had driven over 100 miles (one way--I wanted to shoot!) so I might as well go for it. Wound up with a 258 out of a possible 300--won' t win over anyone to sponser me on an IBO tour, but a pretty good round for me.

Anyone else ever swapped over like this?
