Proper form

[Archery_nut]

Should I be shooting left hand if I’m left eye dominant? I’ve been shooting right hand for awhile now and realized some shoot with both eyes open. Is this proper? If so should I be switching to left hand bow if I’m left eye dominant? Or just keep closing my left eye and continue shooting right hand?

If you can shoot accurately and consistently the way your shooting why change?

I’m left handed, right eye dominant, shoot with both eyes open. I draw and acquire the target with my right eye closed, aim, and open my right eye before I shoot.

Lefty, does your sight line change when you open your right eye?
I shoot right handed, but left eye dominant and when I try to use both eyes my left wants to take over and it messes with my sight line. Any pointers?

No because I have trained my eye and brain to maintain the sight picture my left eye has acquired. When I open the right eye the left eye sight picture through my peep holds true.

A buddy of mine is cross eye dominant like Lefty and struggles with shotguns as a result. I'm going to get him to try the technique you described.

Thanks AOF!
