I shoot with both eyes open. You can pick up the target faster that way. If you find that the target is getting blurry, that is usually an indication that you are holding your breath. If your eyes are deprived of oxygen for more than 2 seconds your vision starts going.
I just held my breath for 60 seconds and can still read your post

I shoot with both open.

U kidder U!
Try holding your breath while holding a 15 pound AR15 and looking at a target 600 yards away and you will see what I mean.
Or maybe you won't cuz it will be too blurry. MUHAHAHAHA!!

I shoot with both eyes open. I seem to be more relaxed this way and have a
better view of the target.

Both eyes open for it gives me better depth perception and better vision of the animal or target.

I like using both eyes for several reasons.

It keeps you more aware of movement including the deer, and other things around him. Also, I find that I shoot best (bows, guns, whatever) when I can relax my face and get completely in the zone. I let my face go blank and then focussing on the task of shooting becomes easier. Trying to hold a squintto keep one eye closed is a distraction and you will fatigue quickly, and start to tremble.

I shoot w/ one eye open, I've often heard that using both eyes is better because you see better and get a better perspective.

I am left eye dominant and shoot right handed. There is no way I can keep both eyes open and still hit the target.

You And Me are in the same boat there..hope it dosent sink..[X(]

One eye. Left eye dominant, shoot bows right handed, guns left handed. If I try both eyes open my left eye tries to take over and they end up fighting. No bueno.
