I shoot right handed. I do practice with the left, but my strong shooting hand is my right. But I'm very left eye dominant. So I use Isoceles stance.

When I first started shooting handguns I closed an eye (right). A friend of mine basically threatened me with bodily harm if I didn't start learning to shoot with both eyes open. I have to say he was right. It does not hurt my aim, and it drastically improved my speed.

So, question, Who shoots with both eyes and who closes an eye? Do you change it up based on what kind of handgun shooting you're doing?
