My shooting style is unorthadox, but it works for me.  I shoot three under and point of aim. I  pick a spot, come to full draw on target with both eyes open, anchor with back tension, squint/close my left eye (rt. handed), and let her fly. I have tried just about every shooting style I know of over the yrs. and this one fits me best. I get really great accuracy out to about 25 yrds. Over that I tend to shoot better with both eyes open. I won't shoot at an animal over 25 yrds anyway.

I too squint my left eye just before reaching anchor. Paul<><

me too! works great.

I've recently started closing my left eye (right handed shooter) just as I get to anchor. Has helped shrink my groups tremendously at longer ranges. I'm right eye dominant but my vision is clearer in my left so I would subconsiously use it sometimes and of course shoot way left.

I am right handed, and close my left eye.  This is due to an eye injury.  The injury was to my right eye.  Although I can see much better with my left eye, closing it keeps me in balance better. It is much easier than switching to left handed for me.

I wear contacts and when the wind is blowing and they start moving around in my eye it helps to close one eye. I think when my dominate eye starts to go blurry (Contact) the other one takes over and my shooting suffers.

Jim, I belive in one of the "Masters of the Barebow" Larry Chen does' the same thing- hella of a shot!

I must be different......I tried this today while shooting, and with three different bows I shot about 6 to 8 inches to the left with my left eye closed.

You & I are alike in this, I made a so so score on my first Field shoot Sunday because the longer shots I would tend to close the left eye & my shots would hang left each time.

Masters of the Barebow 2 in fact, I quit closing my eye and went to squinting when I saw that.  Those things are invaluable!!!

I started out shooting with my L eye closed (R eye/R hand dominant).  It wasn't until I actually started shooting trap that I realized what a disadvantage I was putting myself at.  

It took some practice, but eventually my scores improved dramatically by shooting with both eyes wide open.  I carried this over to all shooting - pistols, SGs, bows, rifles, everything.  I find target acquisition to be MUCH faster.  And with practice, I shoot much better with both eyes open.

I shoot with both eyes open, but thats just how ive always done it.
