Left eye dominant right handed.
koan:
Im a lefty & left eye dominant. My left elbow is shot so i shoot righty. I instict shoot. Out to 20yrds dont bother me but past that i start shootin to the left so i just close my left.... Pats correct tho; its mostly a mind thing. If i have been shootin alot... It corrects itself... jmo.... Brian

I'm a little concerned with the replies here. Not sure if you guys that shoot with both eyes are actually able to switch from dominant eye to non-dominant eye. If you always shoot with your dominant eye and you can't help but do this every time, you wont have a problem. However, if you are like me, sometimes my brain switches to my non dominant eye at the moment of aiming and firing and it's confusing. It does make a difference if you mistakenly make the correction and adjust your aim to the other eye at the instant you release the arrow. It must be an ADD thing. It usually happens to me on the last shot and makes me shoot outside the group.

I am left eye dom. and shoot right handed,with both eyes open,just how I learned,I tried to switch to left but just couldn't or wouldn't work hard enough
at it for it to feel confrontable,If you can make it work I would suggest you swap to left,I know several that have for one reason or another and after they got use to it they seemed to shoot better.I just couldn't make it work for me. :)

i tried to shoot left handed with a slingshot as i use them alot. and just couldnt get used to it, so i would have no chance with a bow. i think if you shoot right handed and are left eye dominant (or vice versa) i find its better to have both eyes open and just focus on the target rather than the arrow or anything else. but other than that just do what ever is the most comfortable and feels right.

I'm left eye dominate and right handed. Just close my left eye and shoot. Can't shoot with both eyes open probaly comes from my compound days looking through a peep sight :-[
