Lesson Learned..The hard way!
After taking all of your advice and buying a Vixen, sighting it in, and here in Ala. I was just using the stock optic/peep sight that came with it. Well I had my first chance at a shot on Sat. and realized that you have to shoot with both eyes open! With the deer in the brush approaching my shooting lane, I couldn't see both pin and deer thru the sight. With both eyes open you can see both! Next time we know better.

Whenever I shoot now its with both eyes open. Good habit. While hunting with scope or open sights it allows you to be able to follow your target better and see the sights at the same time. You always here of people not being able to find a moving animal in a scope, both eyes open will help elliminate this. I also use to do some airgun tournament shooting and we blocked one eyes view but I believe it was more for not being distracted by anything but the target.
Why ride when you can walk!

I've started target shooting with both eyes open using my varizone scope . . .however, when I killed my first two deer this past weekend . . .I'm not sure if my eyes were opened or closed!
I think it's easier to follow the bolt with both eyes open.

I'd rather wear out than rust out.

I'm right handed but my left eye is strongest so I just switched to left hand shooting many years ago. Rifles, shotguns and crossbow left hand. Handgun right hand. I keep both eyes open.
