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.

Those who spray and pray most often have never been taught fire discipline and sadly need it.

With a mob of pigs going flat out for cover I find I don't have time to take the rifle off the shoulder. Not so much hunting as feral eradication, piglet to full size sow or boar are all in the sights.
