Hey yall, for the longest time I've been aiming with one eye and aligning up the sites and then firing, but lately I've been trying to aim with both eyes open. I did some research online and many recommend focusing on the front site while lining up the back, and both the target and back sites will be blurred. I did this many times dry-firing and the concept made sense and I thought I had it down. But once I got to the range I couldn't actually aim, I just shot center mass and the target looked like swiss cheese. Which I guess is great for self defense in under 10yards, but I also want to have good accuracy for trying to compete in IDPA. What did work for me was focusing on my target and bringing up the frontsite THEN slightly focusing on the frontsite w/out losing my target too much, backsites were brought into alignment almost naturally, and then firing. I found myself extremely accurate with that. So which way is correct technique and which way I should focus on for improving marksmanship?...
