Best Answer

Because with one eye there is less area seen than with both eyes. Therefore you will see your target easier.

Why do you close one eye when you aim for a distant object?

Keeping both eyes open, one can only focus on ojects at a particular distance from the eye at a time. By focus I mean that an object on which one has attention is visible clearly, and objects at other distances and positions appear blurred and TWO in number (see stereovision due to two eyes). This creates confusion while aiming, so by closing one eye, there is only a single image of an object, hence the two aiming sights can be aligned well with the target.

How do you find out which eye is your dominate eye?

It's not exactly a technical method, but this the way we used to tell which is the dominant eye. Quickly, without thinking about it, point at a distant object, and then don't move your arm and finger. Close one eye, then open it and close the other eye. Looking through one eye you will be pointing at the object, and looking through the other eye you will be pointing off to the side. The eye with which you see your finger pointing at the object is your dominant eye.
