Do you shoot with one eye open?

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.
Both eyes open here. I thing you've really got plenty of time to get used to it. You'll be amazed at how quickly it becomes second nature to you and once it does you won't believe the difference.
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 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.
