Do you shoot your bow with one or both eyes open?

I know its just a personal preference but what do you prefer?

 

I can do both eyes open because I don't shoot a peep sight.

 

Both of course. That way you can focus on the target or deer and still see if something else shows up. Say your aiming at a doe, and a big buck walks in. But you only have one eye open. :D

 

I shoot with a peep and still shoot both eyes open.

 

Both eyes open it works for me

 

Starting to shoot with both open. Using a peep too.

I shoot one eye open. I have tried two, but haven't been very successful with it.

 

Both closed.





Sometimes that's what you would think poking at my groups. I shoot both open though.

 

Both eyes open and with a peep

 

Both open for sure. Ive never even tried with one closed.

 

I seem to be more accurate with one eye open but I go to the range to practice using both eyes open.

 

I shoot with 1 eye closed. I can focus easier on my target that way. I may start trying practicing with both open though just to get a feel for it. Definitely will hunt with one eye.

 

2 eyes open offers so many benefits that if at all possible, you should do it. There are people that can't for various reasons but it is the preferred method by the best for a reason.

Both eyes open is much more relaxing, better sight picture and lets more light in.

Both eyes open allows the pin to superimpose onto the target and allow for much easier aiming.

I'm not sure how using a peep is supposed to sway you away from bith eyes open, if anything, it should sway you to it for the light and sight picture advantages.

If the peep is positioned properly, there should be zero issue with it.

both open. helps me see things I wouldn't if I had one shut.

 

If you shoot opposite hand to dominate eye, shooting with one eye closed makes it a lot easier. Under these conditions it takes a lot of practice to train yourself to shoot with both eyes open.

 

I am right handed and left eye dominant. Can't hit squat with both eyes open. Shoot with right eye open looking through the peep.

 

I'm cross eye dominant, so I squint my left eye just enough to blur it and my right eye takes over.

 

I cannot focus on my pin with both eyes open. My peep looks totally blurry too. Tried it the other day. The same with rifle scope. Can't focus through the scope with both eyes open.

Both eyes open here. Tfox made some great points and I've violins those to be true after I switched to both instead of just one eye.
