Minnesota Firearms Safety Hunter Education Practice Exam

When aiming a firearm, it is essential to keep both eyes open to maintain situational awareness and depth perception. Closing both eyes or using instinct alone can hinder your ability to accurately aim at your target. Using a scope at all times may not always be practical or necessary, depending on the situation. Therefore, the best practice is to keep both eyes open but close your non-dominant eye to help focus on the target while still maintaining peripheral vision and depth perception.
