thanks Ric!that was my main concern see because i do shoot instinctive ive never use the methods that others talk about, but it is just learning the bow, and because i am left eye dominant, i see the arrow in my perif. vision and can use that as somewhat of a guide. im glad im getting glasses and will be able to see better.

Im totaly blind in my left eye. Using the one i have left works very well for me.    :D

When I first tried shooting I didn’t know about right or left I dominate. I tried to shoot right handed and did ok. Than an elderly gentleman gave me the eye test and I am left eye dominate. After a couple of pulls with my left arm I was shooting better than I was with my right. I keep both eyes open and the targets just started coming naturally to me. So I think it does matter but what’s just as important is time spent practicing and practicing……
Hopefully you will see me as a better person today than I was yesterday..

I'm right handed and left eye dominant.

I used to shoot right handed.

I have been shooting left handed (both eyes open) for more than twenty years.

I much prefer it that way.
May your next adventure lighten your heart, test your spirit, and nourish your soul.

Just keep lookin and shootin, the more you do it the better you get.
Ps 8:3 ¶ When I consider thy heavens, the work of thy fingers, the moon and the stars, which thou hast ordained;
 4 What is man, that thou art mindful of him? and the son of man, that thou visitest him?
