    I just put in about an hour and a half almost two hours and I now have a couple questions. I will post the others on new threads.
    I stated the other day I was starting to shoot with two eyes open. Today I consistently shot 2-3" to the left shooting with both eyes open. I would close one eye and I was dead on. Has anyone ever experienced this? If so what could cause this??

    I've been trying to shoot with 2 eyes open more as well. Your field of vision is greater with both eyes and your supposed to be able to see what your shooting at a lot better.

    I think it would be very benificial in low light wooded situations and when shooting at my bag on the range it is pretty sweet watching your arrow flight. I just have to figure out why I am off shooting with both eyse. Last time I was trying it I was dead on both ways.

    You need to see if the one eye your using is actually your dominate eye . your sight could be right with your both eyes open you just never knew it shooting with one eye .

    I totally agree with Hoosier Daddy. I started shooting with one eye and now use both. The only difference that I noticed was how much field of view I got from doing so.
