A first, I used to have both eyes open when shooting with my stylus epic (very small camera/viewfinder), but that habit is now present on my dslr/slr shooting aswell.

Specially when I shoot sports (bmx riding), I use 1/500 or 1/1000 shutter in order to stop the motion completely, and I use my left eye in the viewfinder to compose, but jus half a second before the moment of shooting is coming, I start paying attention to my right eye, the one seeing the actual scene, so I can press the shutter right when I want to, and this works for me 100%, EVERY TIME.

for example, handlebars exactly half way of the complete 360° rotation

bike exactly half the rotation momentum

both eyes open works every time.
