Both eyes open?

[JasonG]

How many of you guys/ girls shoot with both eyes open? Im playing around with the idea. Thanks Jason

I shoot with both eyes open.  I'm right handed but left eye dominate so if I wanted to keep both eyes open I had to buy a lefty bow.   No issues other than it was a pain in the ass trying to find a place that had a good inventory of left handed bows.

Both eyes open with a bow, for many years.

I shoot with both eyes open as well, particularly for longer shots. I like to think it helps me keep track of everything else going on around as well.

Started that way. It works well if you don’t have eye dominance issues.

I have both eyes open until a second or two before I shoot. Both eyes to be able to see everything going on then lock in with single eye.

Both eyes open.  In the early morning it helps with the light gathering in the dark timber.

Both for me.

I have both eyes open until a second or two before I shoot. Both eyes to be able to see everything going on then lock in with single eye.

I remember the first Cow Elk I missed at just 20 yards out.
 I had one eye shut until a second or two before I shot, then both eyes opened with excitement as the cow stepped out from behind the old growth tree. In my mind I said "Yes.... she's mine!"
 As I let fly, my arrow hit at her feet.
 I couldn't believe my eyes. What had just happened ?
After analyzing the situation, I realized the hard lesson of practicing with one eye shut and taking the shot with both eyes wide open and not locking in with a single eye for the shot. Track Soup Again!

Two eye open when shooting the compound but sometime I have to close  my left eye when shooting the recurve. I get arrows to the left otherwise. Most times just closing the left eye for a second is all it takes.
My eye sight is less then perfect.

I shoot everything except a scoped ricle with both eyes open. Practice with a pistol, make your bow sight picture that much easier

[Stein]

I shoot right rifle & pistol, left bow.  For rifle, I have to shut my left eye, pistol is both open unless I'm target shooting a precise shot.  Bow is right closed for now, playing around with both open but don't really like it.

So yeah, the fun of right handed and extremely left eye dominant.

Definitely both eyes open.

Both open, no dominance issues for me.  I'll squint a little sometimes with non-dominant eye at longer ranges, but probably due to eyes getting old.

Always

I shoot with 1 eye open. I'm pretty bad at shooting targets but haven't had an issue with shooting blacktails with my bow.
