[How long did it take you to learn to shoot with both eyes open?]

I've been working on it for a year and still not doing terribly well.  I'm in my mid 50's and if I really want to see sharp like at a longer range target there is no comparison.  One eye closed works better.  I think the Red dot sight helps a lot.  I know some accomplished rifle shooters that insist on keeping both eyes open but wear a shield in front of the weak eye.  It is supposed to relax the face muscles and help in some way.   I still keep trying, Good luck.

Life long shooter in my mid 50's now.  I have never shot competitively but I am becoming fascinated by the skills some of you guys have

and the equipment has become amazing.  I was hoping I could hang out here and learn a bunch more about it.  I no longer have the the 

speed and agility (or eyesight) of my youth but I still have fun.
