Strong Eye or Not ?

I taught myself to use both eyes open to aim so I don't lose peripheral vision.

Do you use your strong eye when aiming and close the other eye?
Or do you use both eyes to aim?

    You mean you have to keep your eyes open when shooting[:0][:I][:D]

    I usually use whichever one is open at the time. Know how to find out which is your "strong eye?", it's really easy. Mine is left, but I generally shoot (rifle) with the right. Unless it's closed, then I use the middle one....

    A few weeks ago there was some real good single action rapid fire shooting at multiple steel targets. The SASS Participants did just as well using either hand. I assume they fired with both eyes open.
    That ability is something I'd love to develop.
