About
I started shooting in late 2000, at age 11 with in USPSA Production Division. After a few years of learning I switched to Open for about 4 years, winning three consective Open Junior National Champion titles in 2005, 2006 and 2007. In early 2008, Smith & Wesson offered me an incredible opprutunity to come shoot on their team and I haven’t looked back since. I have already won both a World and National Steel Challenge SteelMaster title and am looking to repeat the world title this year.

Hi Mr. Norris,
somewhere I have read that you shoot iron sighted guns with one eye closed whereas you would keep both eyes open with a red dot. Is that correct?
If yes, have you ever thought about putting a tape over the lense of your shooting glasses instead of closing one eye?
Thanks in advance & congratulations to your finish at Area 6
Best regards!
Marijan,
It is true that I close an eye to shoot iron sighted guns, but leave both open with optics. I have tried ever since I started shooting to use both eyes, but for some reason my eyes will not process what they’re seeing. I have tried putting tape over my weak eye, but I didn’t like not being able to have my full field of vision while running, reloading, etc. So far, I don’t feel like it has hindered me in the least bit, there are also several other high-level shooters that close an eye, such as Jerry Miculek.
Thanks for your interest and comment!
BJ
Thanks for your answer!
That is really interesting to hear. So Jerry Miculek also closes one eye while shooting iron sights. I have seen some videos from him on Shooting USA and it seemed as he would keep both eyes open. But I guess you should know it better since you train with him.
Again thanks for your help!
Best regards,
Marijan
BJ,
I remember speaking to you at a match earlier in the year. I think you mentioned that you are going to play with doing an M&P open gun with a modified Carver mount as opposed to a J-point mounted on the slide. Have you tried it yet? Have you had any success?

Hey Mark,
Haven’t been able to try it yet, things have been crazy and I haven’t had a chance to get on a mill with a few hunks of aluminum and start cutting
. As soon as I have something, I’ll let you know!
BJ, just back from the Ohio Shooting Education Camp and wanted to again thank you and Kandi for taking time out of your busy schedule to support the Ohio Shooting Sports program with all of your time and expertise. Looking forward to next time!
Thank you BJ once again for instructing at the Ohio Shooting Education Camp. I was in the action pistol class and I really enjoyed yours and Kandi’s instruction. I learned a lot and developed my skills even further. I’m currently speaking with my parents about shooting IDPA and they are semi-supportive so far. You and Kandi have inspired me to shoot IDPA and compete. My current goal, though far away, is to compete and place in the top ten regional IDPA. Thank you for everthing, I greatly appreciate it.
BJ, It was great having you at camp again, and I have been looking for you on facebook and I just can’t seem to find you, too many BJ Norris’s. But I wish you the best of luck in everything and I hope to hear from you soon.

James,
I swore in the first time on 3 Aug 09, and then left the MEPS for Ft. Benning 22 Oct. I was unable to complete OSUT due to ongoing lower back pain, and was discharged under Chapter 11 on 4 Feb 10. I was an E-2 for the time I was in service.
You’re welcome, it was/is my pleasure to do everything I can to serve this great nation.
Hello BJ, you did a brilliant effort for almost winning against Dave Sevigny. I hope you will come back to NJ next Yr. Fred Bhend, one of my super dooper friend will be expecting your call about the Tactical Solution products. It looks cool. Fred’s no is 609-490-0318
Hi, I am interested in a good conceal carry weapon. I have a SIG P226 40 cal for the house, but that is too big for carrty. Based on your experience and expertise do you have any good suggestions?
