Split-vision

Postman:
I think this is what I'm doing - never knew what it was called. Only been doing PA since last october, but starting to hit better when I don't think, and miss when I do. Being cross-dominant, (Right handed but left eyed) I close my left eye before release, and it tends to leave an impression of where the tip was as I stare down the target spot as I release. Being cross dominant sucks. Shooting Skeet is pure comedy. :D

Arthur Herrmann:
Hello Kegan! :D Long time no see. I am right eye dominant but i shoot lefty. Should I change stance in order to use this method?

Justin Snyder:
If you are right eye dominant you should probably shoot right handed no matter what meathod you use.  The whole dominant eye thing can really throw off your shooting if you don't. Justin

StanM:
I started shooting "split-vision" as a youngster after reading Pope's "Hunting with the Bow and Arrow".  He describes a very similar method in it.  Shooting that way with properly spined arrows will help you "shoot the line".  I found it very easy to shoot accurately left and right.  After a while the up and down gets there pretty easily and now I feel like I shoot more "instinctively", but I still occassionally check my line consciously when shooting.

I've tried shooting that way a couple times- and it does work wonders. Unfortunately it torques my shoulders out of alignment on my heavy bows and really messes me up :P.
