Shooting Skeet? Eyes Open

The folks at Do All Traps explain that when shooting skeet besides having good equipment, vision is one of the key elements to breaking great scores.  Anything that detracts from good vision will likely result in poorer scores.  So we all should do what is necessary to enhance our vision.  If you aim and shoot using one eye you can improve your scores by  switching from being a one-eyed shooter to using both eyes.  However; switching is more difficult than it seems, which may result in frustration as the transition is often a process.

As we know in shooting skeet  it happens pretty fast.  You need to point lead and fire in an instant.  Closing one eye and focusing takes to long.  Much better results are achieved when you  instinctively swing your shotgun,  follow and lead the target with both eyes open.  Making the  switch to shoot with both eyes open takes time to get use to.  It takes the brain some time to sort things out because of the different look.  How long does it take to make the change?  It really depends on how flexible the person is, but keep practicing, be patient and it will happen.
