Open-Eyed Shooting Tactics With Chris Sajnog [Podcast]
Jeff Anderson invited me to be the guest speaker of Modern Combat & Survival podcast's 176th episode. We discussed the importance of using both eyes in a real gunfight. Shooting with your one eye closed will get you or someone else killed in a real life and death situation. You need both eyes to focus on your front sight, acquire your target and be aware of the environment.
​The good news is, with practice you can master the art of shooting with both eyes open. I shared a simple technique that you can practice at home to improve your focus.
