One eye open or two?
 
I've been making a lot of changes this off season including starting to shoot with both eyes open. At first it was awkward now I wonder why I ever kept one eye closed. After a small adjustment period it just seems more natural. So i want to know.....

I keep one eye open but will have to try both open. Do you still look thru your peep? Did it take long to get adjusted?

The good Lord gave each and everyone of us 2 eyes so I would have to say use both of them!

Do ya drive, golf, watch tv, mow the grass, work etc etc with one eye closed?:eek:

Well, before I quit drinking I used to drive with one eye open! Duc I took my peep off a couple of weeks ago. It is NOT going back on. The adjustment period only took a couple of practice sessions.

I've been having trouble seeing thru my peep clearly here lately. I might try it here in another week.

Both eyes open? Okay... Yes I do - when using my Remington 870 12GA and skeet shooting! ;)

Both eyes open for archery? Not on your life... Whenever I try to open my right eye (I'm a lefty and left eye dominant) everything goes to heck in a handbasket and I see two targets or two sets of sight pins. If I try to shoot, I have no idea which image to shoot at!!!

Let's face it... I'm a nutcase... :(;)

The same thing happens to me when I open both eyes, but I still do it anyway. I just focus on the right image. I have noticed increased accuracy while shooting with both eyes open.

They say it's good for shooting rifle, so I'd say it's good for bow too!

I have shot archery decently at the state and national level. Taking second and third place respectively. I am a rifle eye shooter. I close my left eye since I'm right handed. If I could change anything about my shooting, I'd learn to shoot with both eyes open. Especially for hunting. I think that if you can do it, shoot with both eyes open.
