noI don't and its a myth that you have to shoot dominant hand with dominant eye

closing your non-dominant eye is just plain silly too - do you close it when you drive? when you pour coffee? when you throw a baseball ?
Have you tried it? Because I have, and it's impossible for me to shoot both eyes open using my non-dominant eye/hand. Unless I severely changed my anchor, I would always see double, and the sight ring housing would never line up with the inside of the peep.

No one said you HAVE to shoot the dominant eye with dominant hand, it's just the recommended way to shoot ANYTHING. Ask a shooting coach, I'm sure they will all share the general same opinion, imho.
Same here Matt! I'm not sure how anyone who is truly left eye dominant can shoot right handed without closing their left eye or making some radical adjustments.

IMHO when starting to shoot a Bow you should learn to shoot with the dominant eye. Thatis the smart thing to do.
