Soonergirl has the right idea. It's called "paralax error." If an object is too close, trying to aim a weapon with both eyes open will result in a shot aimed slightly to the side with the eye NOT sighting down the barrel.

Because you don't see exactly the same thing with each eye. It reduces the difference between the two sightings which helps you to aim more accurately. Try this-- hold 1 finger about 6 inches in front of your face and look at it with one eye at a time. It's not really jumping back and forth is it???

it's ill advised for shooting, because you lose your sense of depth perception when you close one eye. however, most people do this because they feel as if they can get a "better bead" on their target.

because it helps you focus down your line of fire, whether through a scope or with a sight.
