Ok, I've always been told and have always read that to shoot accurately, one must focus on their front sight. I have read and been told that this holds true even when shooting with both eyes open in a "tactical" scenario. What do you guys think?
I shoot with both eyes open, but I focus on the target. This not only feels natural to me, but my accuracy improved drastically from traditional one-eyed shooting. I understand focusing on the front sight when shooting at distance for accuracy, like with a rifle or for a precision pistol shot. My problem with staring at the front sight for "practical" pistol shooting is that it feels like I'm not paying attention to anything else going on. It's like driving down the highway staring at your hood ornament. You'll be able to keep the car in the lane, BUT you wont be able to see something in the road until you've hit it.
So how do you guys aim?
