    Default Who shoots with both eyes open

    I was shooting my bow tonight getting it sighted in, then just thought I would try shooting with both eyes open and WOW, what a difference. Never in my life have I shot so consistent. Hitting the bullseye and my groups are so tight. I mean Ive had tight groups and bullseye shots, but the consistency is 10 fold.

    If you look at the right side of your string almost have the string on the vertical line of your target you can see the whole target and your level (3rd axis) in the same view. A archery pro showed me this 5 years ago and i haven't looked back. I am now trying to find an anchor point on my face or jaw line to get rid of the kisser. For right handed

    This is interesting!
    By the way, eliminate the peep, give a small increase in speed (no weight on the string).
    I personally shoot with both eyes open eb. years, my strategy is to have a great peep (1/4) aligned as possible with the circle of the sight. This to be always in repetitive firing. Need to work on the distance between pins and peep sight, (inside diameter of the peep, outside diameter of circle) ...
    To be able to eliminate the peep, I think it's the state of the art in the shot (among other things I can not use the bubble, Cat Bowhunter Unlimited).

    I shoot both eyes open, more field of view that way.

    I just started this year. I still instinctively close one eye after drawing. I do like being able to see a wider field of vision.

    lol same here...kinda like I was told focus on your target and not your pin. Been doing that since I was 12 and don't have a clue if it is correct but 22yrs later it still works for me.
