I use one eye. I too am left eye dominate but right handed so it is hard to shoot with both open.
|
i squint my left eye, and use my right, mostly out of habit i guess
|
Both eyes open for me...tried it a couple years ago and wouldn't shoot any other way now.
|
Believe it or not i am a right handed shooter who is left eye dominant and i can do. it. I only shoot with two eyes open whether its a rifle shotgun or bow.

Everyone can't do it though. It's difficult if not impossible for a right handed shooter who is left eye dominant or vice versa. |
I used to always close one eye, but this year I've been practicing with both eyes open. It really makes a difference as far as watching the arrow hit the target, just takes some practice

I have found that if you have problems with left eye dominance. You can put a patch over that eye or wear sunglasses with the right lens taken out this will train your right eye to be dominate. Once you have your right eye trained it makes it easier to shoot with both eyes if that's what your wanting

Both eyes open. When I first started bow hunting, I only had one eye open. I found it made it real hard to see the deer standing there blending into the surroundings, trying to see it through that little peep sight. I would pull down on a deer, then loose them. Not all the time though. It made it so much better to have both eyes open because then I could see the deer better and where my arrow hit on them.

shotgun both, but with the bow just a 1 eye'd shooter. Tried both, but I;ve got enough issues w/o trying to introduce something else
|
I am very left eye dominant, I shoot compound right handed, recurves and longbows too.
Drive to work tommorrow with one eye shut and see what you miss and what is lost. Just saying is all ............ |
