+1 on what Pat B said.Everyone can be different I guess.You have to find your style on your own.Maybe go to a shooting range and watch others.I'm sure though you'll get all kinds of different advice there.I knew of someone who was a long bow shooter and was a pretty darn good shot instictively which is what I wanted.Both eyes open.Some people can pick it up quickly while others have all kinds of problems.I don't know exactly why that is.I think trying to make it too complicated is no good.It is a lot more mental than shooting a gun though.
Personally I come right to my chin that's very close to my anchor and stay focused on what I'm aiming at and good things usually happen.Repitition I think puts my minds eye in automatic mode and if I come to anchor good things happen.My mind has to be free of everything besides what I'm focusing on.No expert here at all just more persistent than smart.

I was taught from a very young age by my father to shoot with both eyes open no matter what weapon im using.
Eric Krewson:
I have a friend who has won the IBO Worlds several times with her longbow.She is a split vision shooter like Howard Hill and closes one eye when she shoots. Her explanation; " I have less information to process that way".

I shoot both eyes open with a bow and left eye closed when shooting anything with a sight. ;)
