Default RE: EYE DOMINANCE

I cannot believe the wives tales about this subject !

I am left eye dominant and shoot right handed. In fact I do everything right handed. I'mgood at sports and this has NEVER been a negative to my skills.

i shot a compound for 12 years cross-dominant and shot damn well - and still can. When I switched to trad bows - huge shock/difference because there is no peep or sights to MAKE you focus using your non-dominant eye. Focusing, which BTW is the key to most archery shots, is actually enhanced IMO by being cross-dominant. You MUST focus, because if you don't your dominant eye takes over and its impossible to shoot accurately

My last point - Larry Yen and Howard Hill are/were crossdominant shooters. Tell them they could be 'better" if they changed !

Shoot crossdominant, learn to shoot it, do it like you've done everything else in your life and you'll be just fine.
