Dominate eye

<< < (2/2)

AngelDeVille:
My son shoots lefty and seems to do well, I'm left eye dominant too, but have learned to shoot righty. but miss targets equally as well with either draw.

We both are getting bows without rests, so we can experiment a little.

danny f:
im left handed, left eye dominant, i shoot a gun left handed but shoot a bow and slingshots right handed. i dont really aim as such, i just look at what i am trying to shoot and let rip, i tried shooting left handed but i didnt like it and didnt feel i was strong enough to draw the bow or slingshot. best thing to do is what ever feels comfortable, if it feels like you have to try you wont shoot to well.

crooketarrow:
  Your dominate eye only predicts if you should shoot right or left handed. If you shoot instinctive you have a dominate eye ofcorse but you shoot with both eyes open. Even though you shouldn't there are people that aim by the tip of the arrow or sight users close a eye it's a bow not a rifle.  Cosing a eye theres a short time that you can't see the animal. When shooting intuitive you should be contrating on where the animal is going for the shot and picking your spot when he reachs there and don't worrying about having to find the animal with one eye. Just a step that can be avoided. The simpler the shot process the easier it is.

Huntinfool:
I'm left eye dom and shoot right handed I do alright, I believe I just barely squint my left eye a tad.

I know I used to do that with a shotgun so I assume I may do it a little with a bow.

Sidewinder:
Im left eye dominant and shoot right. I do alright. I shoot instinctive so I am sure that helps.  Danny
