The question of taking aim with botf
eyes open has been revived in England
The system has long been advocated by
many, but the great majority OF
sportsmen shoot with one eye closed
One writer contends that in firing at NOV
ing objects the one-eyed men are out Of
the fight, and another two. eyed advocate
states The right eye is gradually
trained to retain the image Of target and
sights, although the left eye remains open
and the left eye serves to sharpen up the
image Of the target and to convey to thu
brain the images of other external oh
jects to which the right is for the time
blind" As for ourselves we shall con
tinue to shoot with both eyes open
though we must confess it don't make
much difference to the game-but we pre-
fer that other pugilists. specially il they
direct their aim toward US, shall keeu
their tive eyes shut. Do you mind now.
