Put an Aimpoint on my 16" middy and noticed that when shooting with both eyes open I get two distinct groups, one is centered on the bull but a second group emerges about 8-10 inches directly above the bull. Both groups are about the same size overall but I get some strange looking targets.
When I use my dominant right eye there is only one group, centered in the bull. Obviously my left eye is controlling when I pull the trigger for the second group but is there any way that I can fix this?
Back in H.S. I did rupture my eye in a wrestling match and while it did eventually heal I now suspect that it is skewed slightly in relation to the other.
Anyone had to deal with this type of thing in their shooting?
Thanks

That's pretty odd.  Tagged for the answer.

If your optics cowitness, look through the small rear aperature and try again.

I'd bench it and see if you can repeat the results before you go crazy blaming your eyes.

You mean keep both eyes open and use the iron sights as well as the red dot?
I have never had this issue with iron sights only but I was also closing the left eye.
I will try it on Tuesday and see what happens, it sounds crazy but may give me another data point.

You're using the gangsta hold technique maybe?
