When you guys and gals shoot, do you focus on the Pin or the Target...

cuz when i focus on the target my pins are blurry... if i focus on the pins the target is BLURRY.......

I' ve always focused on the target... and my pins are blurry....

Do you shoot with ONE EYE CLOSED? OR Both OPEN?

One eye closed but sometimes open. I have noticed the same thing and I have founded if you don' t think about it you probably will automatically focus on something inbetween making both the target and the pin clear.

With me it depends, if there is plenty of light I focus on the target, if the light is low I focus more on the pin.

I shoot a bow just like I shoot a gun with iron sights. Focus on the front site, target blurred. I found I' m much more accurate on the target range doing it that way.

This however contradicts the " pick a spot" theory when aiming at animals. I' ve found myself, when hunting, focusing on the " spot" .

I shoot both eyes open and focus on the target keeping the pin in my peripheral vision.

To be honest, I never really paid attention. I believe that I focus on the pin though I would like to think that I focus on the target...

I normally focus on the pins, but I first focus on target before anything... I shoot left eye dominant, left handed bow, and most of the time, keep my right eye closed. Shoot with both eyes open? .....Can' t do it. [:' (] No matter how much I' ve tried.... Still can' t do it. Way back when, even the Coast Guard tried to teach me on the M-16' s and the 1911 .45 pistol. But, I kept shutting my right eye. Hey, I still qualified on the range in bootcamp! [:-]

I am a Marine and we are taught to focus on our rifles front sight post. I do the same with my bow and seem to shoot pretty well. I have a lot of confidence in this method as we shoot at targets 500 yards away and it seems to work pretty well.
