How do YOU shoot?

The voting statistics in this poll are within a few percentage points of the nacho cheese versus cool Ranch Doritos poll. This suggests to my warped mind that one eyed shooters also like cool Ranch Doritos. I’m pretty confident I’m right…

I mean, I’m a one eyed shooter, and I like cool ranch

Your eyes should be open, both of them, no matter what you're shooting.

This.

Both eyes open, with everything.

Has anyone come across, or developed any exercises that have helped being able to shoot with both open? Maybe its as easy as just time with the rifle focusing on the sight picture dry firing? Maybe even close eyes, open and acquire a clear reticle picture on target and repeat if successful or wait until it does? Maybe start with closed eye, move to squinting, then gradually squint less until its full open? Curious to see if anyone has deliberately worked on that, sounds like some of you have.

I always shot firearms both eyes open but transitioning that to archery was a little tough. I always shot one eye closed and when I made the decision to have both eyes open I started by squinting my non-dominant eye. Occasionally closing that eye to make sure I’m looking at the correct set of pins as it is like seeing two sets of them through the peep. Within a week or two of consistent shooting I noticed I naturally had both open without thinking about it. Make sure you have a big backstop because you will shoot a couple a full foot left or right at the start

I wonder how this correlates with the "Crispy or Chewy" bacon poll that was out a while ago LOL
