Isn’t aiming with both eyes open the way to do it? I learned to do that in the military to keep your situational awareness and never stopped. Also, it works really well with a holographic sight, like you’ve got the red dot / reticule floating on the target.

Both eyes open is great for the real world. Olympic target shooting is a very different animal. Don’t think of it like normal shooting. Situational awareness is not a factor. Unlike practical shooting, tunnel vision is desired. Most shooters wear covers to obscure the off side eye. They are focusing on absolutely lining up the physical sights, no optics in Olympic pistol shooting.

Yeah the hand in pocket is pretty common in Olympic shooting. Unfortunate that it got pointed out as it undercuts the rest of the valid unusualness of the setup.

Yeah, every time someone mentions the hand-in-pocket thing it’s “ah, you don’t know what this event is”. Same with that one about holding the gun with both hands.
