In that split second, you will experience a change both physically and mentally.
What is very noticeable is the adrenaline rush.
And make your mind think for a moment, "Will you fight or will you retreat?"
As your mind responds in that way
The body's nervous system releases norepinephrine and adrenaline.
Comes from the adrenal gland.
When the body has a circulation of both substances
Heart rate will increase
The pupils dilate and open wider.
This is the body's forced response system.
Let us remember and respond
With the things that are facing you as much as possible
This incident resulted in a shooting.
With the non-dominant eye closed, it becomes even more challenging.
Trying to close one eye to aim through the sight
It requires more mindfulness or may cause loss of concentration.
This results in a greater chance for the shooter to miss.
And when you may be in a tight situation
Or are you an officer who has to deal with a crime?
If it were worse, if you were on the battlefield
Where it is full of chaos, chaos and difficult to concentrate.
This makes shooting a gun with two eyes an advantage.
Such as not going against the body's natural response system.
If you want to do the opposite of what your body responds to,
That requires more concentration.
Keeping both eyes open also helps.
Increase the range of surveillance or surveillance
Better identification of external risk factors
When there is no need to force concentration and the scope of observation is wide
That allows you to see, evaluate and respond.
Reach what's in front of you faster and more efficiently.
Having advantages does not mean that there are no disadvantages.
What was said above is correct.
When you try to aim a firearm with two eyes
The first thing you will see is that if you don't see a target, it becomes 2 targets.
You will see the weapons stacked on top of each other.
Training the body to get used to aiming with two eyes
Therefore, it is essential if you want to be prepared.
To cope with the unexpected
Karl's training advice is to wear clear-lensed goggles.
Use Vaseline or lip balm to cover the non-dominant eye.
and aim through the sight while keeping both eyes open.
Next time, reduce the amount of lip balm to reduce the amount of wax blocking the lens.
Practice this over and over until you are confident. Reduce the amount of wax.
Until he was able to return to aiming and shooting while wearing clear-lensed glasses and opening both eyes.
Repetitive practice will make your body get used to it and respond faster.
The benefit you will get is a quick response efficiency in critical situations.
Or you hardly need to aim at all if the target is close to medium range or is quite large.
Finally, it can be said that aiming a weapon with two eyes may not be the best result or recipe.
Aiming a weapon with only one eye is also effective when fine-tuning the sights or shooting at distant targets.
No matter what method you use, there are some things that should not be overlooked.
So it's all about practicing diligently.
To cope with unexpected situations
To effectively protect your friends, loved ones and yourself.
If you make a mistake in training, no matter how many times, there is still a chance to fix it.
But if you fail in the real field, that time your life may be at stake.
