I was at the Firing Line the other day, and someone was teaching a new shooter how to shoot. He instructed the new shooter to shoot with his eyes closed. I've never heard of this. I was just wondering why someone would want to shoot with his eyes closed.

I teach that in the point shooting classes. More or less just to show what they have learned at the end of the class.

Bring the gun up to the slide is in your vision close eyes and go through 5 rounds. See that all are in an 8 1/2 x 11 sheet. Roughly the size of your chest. Combat accuracy.

Where you are pointing is where you will hit. Where your eyes are is where you point.

some will do this if they cant figure out the cause of why the shooter is tossing shots left/right some times also if the person is a right handed shooting left domiant? in most situations since we are binocualr animals,you need both eyes to bring in light, keep balance, and to judge distance, to watch your flanks
