I guess I am different beast, I start off with both open and close as I start concentrating .... works for me. I also recently read an article where Randy Ulmer does the same thing

I even tried 10-12 shots with both eyes open today--I could see my arrow alot better. I felt more comfortable. The only problem is that I kept getting blurry images from my sights...I could not for the life of me get my eyes to adjust and focus.

The problem with me, is that I see two peeps, and two sights, when I have both eyes open, and I never know which ones to use!!!:D

Sounds like you are shooting from the wrong side then...

One eye closed for me. Always say that I am going to try both eyes open, but have yet to try it.

I did...Sounds like you are left eye dominate and shooting right handed...It's hard to be a good shot doing it backwards...

Having both eyes open helps with depth perception, night vision, peripheral vision and also in tracking the arrow...

How do you do dove hunting with a shotgun???

It doesn't make sense to me to have both eyes open and try to focus with one. You are sending too many wrong signals to your brain.
