One eye or Two

I shoot with one eye. Seems to me that I can get a better aim. My left eye, when I try with both eyes open, seems to send my brain non essential extra data. I can see my arrow flight just fine with one eye closed. I can see my target and pins just fine with one eye closed. I have always shot my rifle scope with one eye closed. Also I consistently shot expert in the military with one eye closed.

I seem to be able to concentrate more on the task of aiming, when that's the only data going to my brain from my eye. Course, I may be different.

 

I'm good. Hopefully you didn't take it the wrong way. I was just stating that a true fix is switching from left to right or right to left.
My family shoots sporting clays. My dad was #2 Super Vet in the world. You have to patch the eye or switch sides.

 

I don't use a peep so I shoot with both eyes open and shoot " through the string" ...better field of view especially in lower/last light.

 

one eye

 

Can you send a picture - I think I might be interested in trying this... Thx in advance.

 

One I open. I am Right-Handed, but Left Eye Dominant.

 

I didn't. I kept looking through my peep sight and pins with my right eye. Here is a different picture from my first post.

 

Two; whether it be my bow, shotgun, rifle or handgun. Two eyes, always.

 

Not sure what you're looking for but here's a photo

 

Both eyes open for me.

Two eyes open

 

Generally both open. Unless I have marginal light then it's one to aim both to shoot.

 

I use one but am seriously thankin bout tryin 2....especially with the feedback on this thread!

 

Do you center your eye to the middle of the string and just look (sorta) through the string?
Looks like you need the button to make sure your anchored the same.
Your head is in the same position (because your anchored) and you center the pin with the string and release - correct?

 

I like to use two

 

I use both eyes. If I use one eye I end up focusing more on my pin instead of the target.

 

I'm the same way I have to shoot a gun and bow left handed even though I'm right handed

 

I used to shoot bows back when I was 12 through about 19 and always shot with one eye. Kids are old enough now and we are getting back into it, so bought all the stuff and everything. They are shooting with one eye because they are saying it's easier for them, I retrained myself to shoot with both eyes. It's amazing, I can see SOO much more and can even watch the arrow all the way through to the target.

 

I never used a sight until a few years ago so naturally I shot with both eyes open. When I started using a sight I got into a bad habit (for me) of shooting with one eye open. A few years ago I passed up a shot at 22 yards on a really nice buck because I couldn't see my pin in relation to the exact spot on the deer's body. I could see the pin and could tell it was on his body but that's not good enough for me. I was wishing I could have pulled that off. When I returned to camp I was sharing the story and one of the guys in camp suggested I shoot with both eyes open because you have two eyes gathering light and can see your pins better in low light. It seems to work but I can't really re-create that exact scenario to know for sure.

 

Two for me.
