i shoot with both eyes open. there are some very rare circumstances where i do shoot with only one open but that's very rare.

I shoot with one eye open. With both open I see two sets of pins this cost me two deer last year. I would shoot fine practiceing but in the field it would screw me up. Shot about two feet to the left.

Same here... Two sets of targets, or two sets of pins... I tried shooting both eyes open and by sheer luck, I hit the correct target!

Left eye dominant and shoot lefty. But yet, I'm righty in most other things. Go figure... [:-]

I'm another guy with opposite dominance, totally right handed, but years of looking thru optical instruments w/ right eye closed have made me completely left eye dominant.
I recently had an eye test and asked if wearing an eye patch could help make me right eye dominant, I was told that it would be alot easier to become left handed - never gonna happen.
