Left eye dominant right handed.

<< < (3/5) > >>

Pappy:
The only problem I have with closing one eye is I loose my depth perception which is importand in the style I shoot,My brain [what little I have ] ;) ;D tells me the distance ,I don't judge distance at least not out to 25/30 yards. Gap shooting or point of aim shooters need to know how far, and actually aim so closing one eye really shouldn't matter. :)

  PAPPYS right to shoot instintive you have to have both eyes open.
  I known and helped people that the same things happened to them.
  It is in your head. If you shoot with a different dominant eye to the side. And have did it like this with out knowing. You never shoot great up at hunting distances your hand eye makes up the short distance. The longer the shot the harder it is. It's alot easyer to take up shooting (switch) with the other hand than you thing. If your haveing a problem with your shooting.

Well I think I might try and get me a light wait left handed bow do a little practice to see if I get any better. Can't hurt to try it out who knows i might get better.

I grew up being taught to do everything right handed . I started shooting a bow at 8 years old and could hit things very well . Started hunting with a shotgun at 16 and did very well with that too .
    BUT at 21 I  wanted to  shoot copetitive combat pistol . A friend of my fathers who was an instructor for our PD agreed to teach me . I hadn't even sent 6 rounds down range and he stopped me and had me do the domanent eye "test".  He told me I was left eye dominant and even though I thought I was a pretty good shot , if I wanted him to work with me , I would have to learn to shoot lefty .
   The next few weeks were very awkward but my accuracy improved tremendously over the next month .Like I said before , I thought I had been a pretty good shot . Now I felt like Doc Holliday !
    I decided to try the same thing with archery and borrowed a lefty recurve . Like with the pistol , at first it felt very awkward but after a couple hundred arrows I was a convert for life . I had always been an instinctive shooter and still am (57 now ) but the improvements in accuracy were astounding once I got used to lefty .
    If you can invest the time and change of equipment , IMHO , it's well worth it.

Scottski:
Now I just have to find a lefty that wants to get rid of a bow.lol!!
