Humans are bilaterally symmetrical. We have two sides and two eyes. This gives us the advantage of binocular vision. As the most important predator on earth, this gives us depth perception and the ability to judge range. <\/p>\n

Closing one eye to shoot is very common and I do it for long-range<\/a> pistol shots, but for most of our handgun shooting we should have both eyes open. With certain rifle sights<\/a>, we may fire accurately with both eyes open as well. <\/p>\n

Firing with only one eye open actually changes the light in your eyes \u2014 think of it as changing exposure. When you are fighting for your life, the rush of chemicals and the fight or flight response will cause your eyes to constrict. You will probably not fire with one eye closed, so you should train with both eyes open.\u00a0<\/p>\n
