Quote: Eagle27, I do my best shooting with semi autos as I do not have to remove the firearm from the shoulder or break my grip.
Bolt guns, unless I am up close and shooting over/through open sights or using an Aimpoint I shoot one eye closed or squinting. Hand guns, semi autos, lever actions, shotguns I shoot with both eyes open. Mind you I have never used a semi auto or lever action with a magnification scope.
I use a semi-auto 22RF and 12G shotgun myself so don't hold all semi-auto users to account
For some reason many I have known who use semi-auto larger calibre rifles, sporters or military style, for hunting deer etc., seem to like putting a lot of shots down range in the hope of hitting something. Most semis are accurate enough but the availability of a fast action and plentiful cartridges to hand often takes precedence over carefully aiming each shot. I have on occasion shot multiple animals deer and feral goat from a mob and never felt handicapped by a bolt action, left handed and all as I am. By taking the rifle down from the shoulder to reload I have time to think and observe and figure out which animal I'll take next.
