About this video

McPhee discusses the debate over shooting with one or both eyes open, arguing that the correct approach depends on individual eye dominance and vision issues rather than following a universal rule. He notes that many shooters claim to keep both eyes open but involuntarily close one when firing, and directs viewers to his eye dominance series for comprehensive guidance on finding the right technique for their vision.

Key takeaways

  • McPhee argues that shooting with both eyes open versus one eye closed should be determined by individual eye dominance and vision capabilities, not by universal dogma
  • McPhee observes that shooters often unconsciously close an eye when the trigger breaks, despite claiming they shoot both eyes open
  • McPhee teaches that understanding your primary eye, cross-eye dominance, and eye neutrality is essential to determining the best shooting technique for you
