Default RE: Do you shoot with your non dominant eye?

So I'll keep shooting with one eye closed.
and you'll lose all depth perception and field of view - but its your shooting, not mine


The other tasks you mention (aside from shooting) aren't as reliant on focusing your vision through a small aperture like a peep
the peep makes it simple - even after years of shooting if I lost focus I would look outside the peep, not through it because my left eye would demand dominance over the right (shooting right handed) - its my personal opinion it made me a better archer becuase I HAD TO FOCUS

now I shoot traditional and I look over/above the arrow as it sits on the shelf, pure instinctive, no point of aim or anything like that can be done.




Thats not true, myfriend shoots lefty, and he tried opening both eyes to shoot and he nearly shot the arrow off the wall.
of course he did because he hasn't trained himself to focus. switching ANYTHING creates chaos with the mind/body - do you think Tiger Woods would shoot a 68 golfing left handed ?



Is there a way to change your dominant eye? Train the other to be more dominant?
I've heard that it can be done, but I was born this way and I believe with the exception of a few people are are non-dominant it can't be done
