Thats not true, myfriend shoots lefty, and he tried opening both eyes to shoot and he nearly shot the arrow off the wall.

Is there a way to change your dominant eye? Train the other to be more dominant?

I just realized I'm cross dominant but have no issue shooting doves, trap, archery, etc...except that I do close my left eye....But I remember growing up shooting my red rider (and by growing up realize I'm only 21 now I would actually close my right eye but shoot right handed so my head would cock over the stock so I could look down the barrel with my left eye haha...it worked at the time but i completely forgot about that until my recent discovery that I'm cross dominant.

and you'll lose all depth perception and field of view - but its your shooting, not mine


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.




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 ?



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

I shoot with the arrow under my dominant eye. My son started shooting cross dominant, but we switched to a left hand bow at age8 ( we were not able to tell before that).
