I had both eyes open, but even like this I was faster than I was with Irons, and I was getting great groups. The EO was faster lightning fast, but the groups wern't as tight.

Because you were doing it wrong!

I never do it right do I?

you're too young to do it right. When you turn 16 you'll never be wrong.

That's called "the balance of speed and accuracy" and its more a function of you the shooter than the optic. You were using the 65 MOA ring of the EOTech reticle to let you know it was "go time". With the Aimpoint you didn't have this ring so you were waiting for the dot to settle.

You can get it trained out of ya.

The problem I have with both eyes open is I'll get double vision in a very short time and then I cant see anything.

Are you speaking in terms of pistols?

Because with red dots you focus on the target, and NOT the dot or "front sight" like you do with pistols. If you can look at someone standing 10 feet from you without double vision then you can shoot a red dot without double vision.

Red dots on rifles. My focus would shift from target to dot, back and forth. It's hard to explain. Maybe I just need to work at it more. I do have problems with double vision on a very rare occasions though. Thanks!
