One eye for everything with a sight. Both open for my bowfishing/trad shooting.

I am left eye dominant right handed raised by lefties...so in a nutshell I am screwed.... :chuckle: I shoot one eye left for scoped or one eye right for pistol and slowly trying to learn both eyes open :dunno:

Concentration is on the smallest part of whatever my target is, do not even think about my eyes.
pick a spot, pick a smaller part of that spot, draw, release, follow-through.....
When using Modern weapons, w/ a scope, well duh...one eye
open sights I blink my "off" eye for target aquisition, then keep it open and concentrate on "sight picture"
I can shoot either handed, and used to win bets by shooting left, they did not know I was cross dominate (neither did I until I got into Archery)

Both eyes for everything, it really helped my accuracy in archery, since I shoot my bow way more than all others combined it just feels right.:yeah:

do you close an eye when you play darts ?
which eye do you close when you throw a baseball or football ?
What about when on the golf range (or is it course)?
:archery_smiley:
The more things you involve in the proceess, the more excuses you have for missing... K.I.S.S. (Keep It Simple Stupid) I have nothing to blame but myself when I do not put it where I wanted it, common joke with my peers "I chose the wrong sight pin" or "couldn't see through my peep" (we dont have them) :chuckle:

I guess that is one of the things that got me into shooting a recurve, both eyes on the target.

So what you are saying is that you have no excuse for missing? :dunno: :P

Cannot fault the equipment, just the nut on the handle....
although you can always use the "I did not see that small branch" (twig, blade of grass, whatever)

Same thing for me. Because of growing up that way though, it really doesn't 'matter what gun or which hand. Fishing - same thing

I shoot with both eyes open for everything except a scoped rifle. Shooting with both eyes open for archery tightened up my groups a lot, and helped me relax and let the pin fall into place instead of aiming.
Agree...I have gone back and forth with my bow. Some days especially when I spend to much time looking @ the computer the target can be fuzzy and one eye open can help. Be able to shoot one or two.
