In was originally trained to fire strictly right handed, but some experimentation on my part determined in short order that I was more accurate using my left eye. I never looked back, as that better accuracy could spell the difference between survival, and extinction...

I know where you are coming from. In pistol shooting, in my experience, the both eyes open works well, it is natural, with training.

With a rifle in a combat situation, fire suppression comes into play, spray and pray. I think, to my mind anyway. That designated shooters should, marksman, do point targets, while other highly trained people attack. There is no target practice in a face to face just reflexes.

The most accurate way to shoot is with both eyes open. Not everyone can do that. I'm also an NRA personal protection/pistol instructor.

Seems as the one-eye or two-eyes way to shoot depends on the focal length of each eye and eye dominance. If they don't click, you shoot one-eyed.

Ideally you should be able to use the sight with one eye and see the target with the other.

Anyway, if you're a civvy and it's personal protection you won't be shooting at more than 20-25 feet where target acquisition isn't so hard.
