Shoot with 1 or 2 eyes?
 
Up until a couple years ago, I shot with 1 eye open and the other closed. Then I made the switch and now definately prefer 2 eyes open.

Rifle, pistol, shotgun, bow...Even a basketball should be shot with both eyes open...

1 nondominant eye open.

I shoot with 1 eye open. Isn't it harder to focus on a particular spot with both eyes open? I'll have to give it a try.

You need one more choice in your poll, "Both ways". Lighting can definitely effect sight picture. I prefer both open so I can see more, but sometimes lighting requires you close or at least half close the non-dominant eye.

Been shooting too long right handed to change to lefty now. No way can I shoot with both eyes open. I'm cursed;).

Exactly.

I've tried two eye's open, but the 1 and 1 works better for me. For some reason I start to focus too much with my left eye if I leave it open and I don't focus as much on centering the pin through the peep site.
