can knowing witch eye is dominant help with shooting instinctively?

sorry for my sucky spelling but I just found out I am left eye dominant. im right handed and was wondering if I could improve my aim by knowing this.

le0n:
if you know this you can now compensate for it, but you may want to try a left-hand bow to see if aiming feels more natural for you.

bubbles:
I am left eye dominant and right handed - I shoot lefty.  I do not shoot instinctively though

sleek:
It can help but it doesn't have to. Meaning, you can use it to your advantage or compensate for it.
To your advantage,  teach yourself to shoot ambidextrous.  Im teaching myself. It takes a weaker bow to shoot well as a lefty but im not bad, just as an example. 

Compensation,  spine your arrows over or under spined ( not too much under mind you ) to shoot more left or right to hit your dominate eye point of aim.  File in the handle some to help bring your arrows further or build up with wood or leather to push em out.

Teach yourself which eye to use in either situation. Close one eye and slowly open tje otjer concentrating only on tje image of the open eye. And shoot. You will eventually learn to switch eyes for point of aim depending on if you want to shoot left or right handed.

DC:
Apparently you can train the other eye to be dominant, but it involves dressing like a pirate for a year >:D >:D
