Keep training-LOL-I was a USPSA class A in 1987-back when Class A was top drawer, my percentages on classifiers would be GM level nowadays. I also held the Ohio (and probably national record but second chance fell apart) pin record-2.82 and 8.9 three table for years.
Ok, hey don't get me wrong, just thinking like a father that's all and yes we can be a pain in the ass, that's my job.
1987? Ok
My dad started me at a very early age. He would make me shoot with guys who were faster and accurate while also being more consistent. Anybody can turn in a good lucky run, but the folk who do so consistently have mastered the shooting fundamentals and are executing them at a higher level. When confronted with other variables (shoot-no shoot, malfunctions, multiple threats), the greater amount of your skills and actions that you can delegate to muscle memory, the more fluid you will be
Quick q - Some random dude is having good hits, moving good and everything great. Both eyes open. And then he starts to noticed something. The front sight is sharp and clear and so is the target. At that point, he realizes his left eye is focused on the target and his right eye is focused on the front sight.
It wasn't something he was trying to do or did consciously, Possible to focus the eyes independently?
How to get this guy back on the right track?
I have not encountered too many owls when I was a pro level shooter
So I just want to put this out there: Do they allow smoking? To be completely honest, I feel a lot safer having my neighbor smoke a cigarette than to think he's going to pull a gun on me.
One of these days, you know what's going to happen: Someone with a permit is going to walk into a public place that they're allowed to carry in, go nuts and open fire. It's inevitable that it will happen someday.

In all seriousness I think this isn't a good idea, there is a lot of drinking, smoking, screwing and emotions running at full speed on college campuses. I am all for the right to have a gun any gun, but let use some common sense here.
If one permit holder, out of millions, does this, does it repudiate the entire concept?
Permit holders have demonstrated themselves to be more law-abiding and less likely to "go off" than the general public. I've published the stats on this site innumerable times.
Universites and colleges for the most part are PUBLIC institutions. Private ones are more than free to choose whatever rules they want.
And this will prove.... what?One of these days, you know what's going to happen: Someone with a permit is going to walk into a public place that they're allowed to carry in, go nuts and open fire. It's inevitable that it will happen someday.

I'm more afraid of seconhand smoke than I am of getting shot by a licensed carrier.

I spend several days each year in the company of several hundred people, almost all cvilians, each actively using an 'assault weapon' for something other than their supposed 'sole purpose' of killing people. I'm FAR more concerned with second-hand smoke than these people and their rifles.I'm more afraid of seconhand smoke than I am of getting shot by a licensed carrier.
Apparently, he was focusing not on the target or the sight but on air 3/4 of the way to the target. This focus will result it a fairly crisp sight and target.
So, we started him at 5, 10 and 15 yards. Line up his sights and target with both eyes open. The focus is on the sight. One target and one sight.
Made him back up to 25 and further. Agian, line up the sight and target with both eyes open. Focus is on the sight. He will see 2 targets. This has to do with ocular deviation. We got him to change his focus to a imaginary point 1/2 to 3/4 of the way to the target....a fairly crisp sight and one target.
This technique can be used at any distance. It is fast and effective with practice.
George Quigley Jr, Former WR holder-ISU skeet, and 88 (alternate) 96 Olympic team had the same issue'
had to put a piece of tape on his left lens so as not to see two targets or gun barrels

He didn't have eyelids? He couldn't close his left eye while leaving his right eye relaxed?
Out around 20-25 yards you will see TWO targets. It has to do with ocular deviation. You gotta change your focus to a imaginary point 1/2 to 3/4 of the way to the target.
You will have a fairly crisp sight and one target. Some folks will have to close an eye at these distances.
The cue I use to change focus point is if I see 2 targets.
I'd recommend dry fire until you learn to do it right. You have to put the work in if you want to be good
