Dominant eye for shooting

[buckeyebowhunter]

My dad and I were shooting in the yard the other day, I was shootin my longbow an he was shootin one of those wheeled things, then I let him shoot my longbow a few times and couldnt hit crap when had both eyes open. I shoot with both open and shoot fine. then he started shootin with his left closed and didnt shoot too bad. I have been tryin to get him to get a traditional bow, but most people i talk to tell me that he would have to shoot left handed cuz hes left eye dominant. Do any of you guys shoot with one eye closed? Or should he forget about that and just start tryin to shoot lefty?

I shoot with my left eye closed since I am left eye dominant and right handed. I gap shoot and since my right eye is the only one open I use the gun barrel method. I tried to switch to lefty but it was just too awkward for me. Some people say that you lose depth perception with one eye closed but my rebutle is my eyes are both open before I release so that depth perception thing doesnt bother me. LOL

I am left eye dominant but shoot my trad bows right handed. I keep both eyes open. I do not look down the arrow at all. Absolutely no aiming. Just repetition. After a while it becomes second nature. Its a struggle at first - then it comes to you.
