adams - the vast majority of the population is cross dominant - shooting with both eyes open and trying to use/not use the peep would create sighting nightmares

I know, I've been there !
I've got to disagree. Yes, it can cause nightmares but it dosen't have to. I shoot right handed and am left eye donimant. I had to train myself to shoot the way I do. It is almost as if I have consciously changed my dominant eye when I have my bow in my hand. Do I sometimes get crossed up? Yes, but all it takes to get focused back with my right eye looking through my peep is a blink of my left eye. By blinking I can "gain control" of what I'm seeing, which is my pin inside the peep hole and the "entire picture" through my left eye. I can't guarentee it'll work for everyone but I see no reason why it can't.

A lot of the reason I became a bow hunter (before I got hooked) is I am a lowsy shot with a gun. My left eye dominant caused me to miss more then mature animal. Inexperience may have also played into it but with the amount of misses I racked up in my early years I'm all but certain it was a cross dominant issue.
