Jay Kidwell's book on "Instinctive Archery" really deals with the one or two eye open thing pretty well.

I shoot with both open, always have, always will.

Both open.

Thanks Guys
I just came back from a practice session and here what I got out of it.
If I cant the bow I shoot much better with both eyes open.
If I don't cant the bow I shoot much better with one eye closed.
To me its much more natural to cant the bow when shooting instinctive.
Thanks for all your thoughts
Best
Bob

Both open in order to "pick" a spot correctly.

This afternoon I was practicing form, and drew the bow with both eyes closed. When I was solid in my anchor, I opened both eyes, lined it up and shot. Otherwise I always draw and shoot with both eyes open. When I got my form where I wanted it, I kept most of my arrows in a 6" circle at about 16 yards. I had been too erratic at getting to anchor and had to tighten up.

One eye open is for shooting with sights if you can't focus on the sights with both eyes open, and most people probably can't. That works well for rifles and compound bows with sights. Two eyes open is unquestionably the better way to shoot with a traditional bare bow or a shotgun without sights. The only exception is if you are left eye dominant and trying to shoot right handed without sights.

if you were meant to use one eye you would only have one eye. you can not hit what you can not see.

Both eyes open and concentrate on small spot
