Default One eye or both

Poll to pass the time till opening day. Do you shoot with one eye closed or both eyes open?

I shoot with both open.

Stalker, point at something, anything, and close your left eye, open it, and close your right eye. Whichever eyes causes the target you are pointing at to move, is your subordinate eye.

put your left hand out, and then put yoru right over it to forma triangle with the part of yoru hand from your forefinger to yoru thumb. focus an object like a clock in it with both eyes open and if it lines up perfect with one eye thats yourdominant eye.

i shoot with my left eye partially shut becuase im left eye dominant and right handed.

I shoot both ways and results do not vary for me to one eye or both open. However I do suggest you learn to shoot with both eyes open it makes a world of difference in low light situations.
