I am currently reading Shotgunning: The Art and the Science - by Bob Brister an American, the 2nd edition dated 2 November 2008 althought the content seems a lot older but I have found a useful tip
In target shooting I use an opaque blinder for my left non-dominant non sighting eye but find that I have had to shut my left eye when clay shooting. Using an opaque blinder ensures that your right eye does not get over tired by doing all the work if you were to close it.
Brister suggests sighting the gun on something on a wall safely at home and resting the barrels on the back of a chair or something.
Keeping sighted in on your chosen object, then close the dominant right eye and look at the sighting bead with your left, non-dominant eye if you are a right-handed shooter. Whilst doing this take either some vaseline or a small sticker and put it on the left eye lens of your glasses where it will obscur the sight bead.
I chose a small Postman Pat stamp sticker from my grandaughters sticker book!
Now you can retain your binocular vision to advantage without fear of your left eye picking up the sighting bead to confuse you.
No doubt the experts know all about this but I found it useful.
