    I've recently been working on shooting with both eyes open. It was difficult to get used to at first, but I do find my accuracy has improved.

    Ive been shooting two eyes since I started shooting a bow. IMO it increases accuracy a lot.

    I shoot both eyes open, might have to squint a little every now and then to get boh pin and target to focus but still both eyes stay open.

    i shoot with one eye open. i think that is because i am used to looking through scopes while shooting guns.

    I honestly didnt try switching to two eyes open but I just caught myself doing it one day and realized how it improved my shooting and how my field of view is soo much better.
