Yeah, this reminds me of last week when I was learning to use my M-68 with both eyes open. (an M-68 is a Close Combat Optic, basically a red dot in the middle that you use to aim). Before I was closing one eye, and the problem with that is I lose all the peripheral vision on the left side. Not good when going into a house. Once I got my eyes trained to do this, for the life of me I could not get the damn thing to zero, and my shot groups sucked. So it was suggested that I ditch the sun glasses, and sure enough I was getting a really nice tight group. I shoot 4-6 round groups. Then getting it to zero was a cinch. No one can quite figure out why my sun glasses were messing me up. They are not prescription (I don't wear corrective lenses).
Anyway, another problem I had was I kept shooting and shooting, and eye fatigue set in. So if you start off doing well, and an hour or so down the road you start to suck, take a break.
