    You'll more likely get a response to your query if you take the time to type a coherent sentence, using real words.

    Always shoot with both eyes open. Took a long time to learn to just keep the eyes open but it is far more effective.

    I believe both eyes open is best. That said, I can't shoot with both eyes open. I'm a righty but left eye dominant. I've started wearing a patch on my left eye around the house to see if I can train my right eye to be dominant.

    Cross dominance is a non issue. I'm some form of it. People make it into more than it is.

    I use both eyes open for pistol, irons, dots, acogs etc etc etc.

    You should use both eyes open. You cut your FOV off by closing one eye, you also will notice your eye start to twitch after a long period of keeping it shut.

    Since you decided to blow off the advice from a senior member, I'll pass it on. If you don't want to type coherent sentence that make us believe you're not some kid in the basement, then don't post the question.

    How do you shoot both eyes open with a rifle when you're cross dominant? I have a dot of scotch tape on the left lens of my shooting glasses. It helps make my right eye take over dominance but its tough to keep the dot in the right spot or balance big enough to transfer dominance and small enough to keep a good FOV.

    Hmm...I'm right eye dominant and right handed, but I can shoot both eyes open from my left shoulder, to the point where you probably couldn't tell I am not left handed...took a while, but a ton of dry practice got it done. I know there are differing degrees of dominance, but putting in the reps, not just at the range, should get it done.

    This!

    Whether I'm shooting my Aimpoints or my NF 1-4 I shoot with both eyes open.

    Repetition on the range and off the range is the key.

    Of course, I'm still trying to get the lazy left side of my body to comply.
