    I have been shooting a bow for years. When I started out (I was 13) my right eye was my dominant eye. All through my twenties and early thirties I shot fine. Well, over the last three or four years my eye dominance changed.
    I shoot 3" groups with broadheads at 50 yards, but I want to improve.
    Should I change what side I shoot with?
    Is there anything I could do to switch my dominate eye?
    Thanks,
    Jason

    Your not happy with 3" groups @ 50 yards? I would love to have your problem! ;-)

    I am happy with my groups. I just think I could do better.

    Believe it or not I started practicing with the scope on my gun. When I switched to the bow I started shooting at 15 yards is lot easier to focus on the target at that range.

    Always shoot with both eyes open.
