Default RE: One eye or both eyes?

it turns out im left eye dominat and right hand dominant.
then it would probably work best for you shooting right eye open and left closed.

I tried both eyes open and i can shoot it good at 10 and 20 yards but not 30. Its tough though...it doesnt seem like you need a peep for it.
stay with it and give it an honest chance. i recently switched not too long ago. i love it much better than shooting only one eye open. it seems i can hold steadier and i group very good all the way out to 50 yards. your dominant eye should look through the peep while your other eye focuses on the target. personally i really never look directly at my pins, i line my peep up and stare at the target. i can just see a blurred vision of my pins on the target.

i am not neccessarily saying this is the only way to shoot both eyes open, but this is what works best for me. i also like the added field of view along with being able to see exactly where my arrow is hitting.

Good Luck,
Nick
