Both eyes open, especially with a scope. I sometimes squint my non dominant eye with irons, usually depends on lighting, clarity/alignment, but open it back up when I’m good to go. I actually don’t think about it much, that’s the way I’ve done it for so long.

Both eyes open; took a little while to get the knack of it down, but the image through the scope looks brighter that way.

Both eyes open, squinting or closing non dominant eye cause facial muscles to effect hold stability in most people. Its like anything that requires muscle memory, if you practice enough the same way religiously it becomes muscle memory so it can be a non issues for some.

Both eyes open...and that was from when I was a kid shooting a Ryder BB rifle. Don't know why...just did it that way, some of my friends shot with one eye closed...but I didn't follow them.
