I am right handed but left eye dominate . I shoot rh for years before I learned there was such a thing . Then switched over . I'd love to go back to rh for lots of reasons but still shoot with my dom eye . I read about a peepless sight that claims you can do just that . Anyone tried shooting this way

I'm right handed and left eye dominate, but I never made the switch. Kinda glad I didn't because I'm not as strong on my left side since I broke my neck. I've played around with a few left hand bows. Before my accident I could pull my normal weight. Since my accident I can't pull #50 with my left side.
I also shoot with both eyes open and the only problem I have is in extremely low light, I have to squint or close my left eye. I shoot all of my guns right handed. With a pistol, I shoot right handed, but aim with my left eye. Seems crazy, but I can shoot the hell out of a pistol.

With a pistol, I shoot right handed, but aim with my left eye How do you stay focused? I've tried both eyes open in low light conditions trying to see the deer better but can't focus... My eyes tend to wanna cross and bounce back and forth between the target....making it worse....

I shoot both open but I am right eye dominate and right handed. I don't see how you do that shooting right handed and left eye dominate with both eyes open. I just tried aiming that way and made myself a little woozy

I'm right handed, left eye dominant. I can shoot a rifle well with either hand. Not a bow though. I close my left eye pretty much any time I shoot, bow shotgun, rifle or pistol. Unless I'm instinctive shooting/ snap shooting. As much as people harp on shooting both eyes open with a shotgun, I shoot left eye closed and preach sustained leads. In clays I'm typically an 85 to low 90s shooter depending on how much I've shot lately, skeet I'm consistently 24 or 25, and it's rare I'm outshot on the dove field or duck blind. My point is, do what's comfortable to you and shoot as much as possible, no matter the weapon. I feel like most of us would regress if we tried to later so many thousands of rounds and arrows worth of muscle memory.

Broker, I am right handed and left eye dominate also. I had to close my left eye to shoot with a peep. A few years ago I bought a peep eliminator at the Bham deer show. Website of the one I bought is http://www.peepeliminator.com.I like it because I can see much better in low light with both eyes open. Probably give up a little accuracy because of the shorter distance between front and rear sight, but plenty accurate for hunting.

Says on there web sight , pins are pre set according to your bow speed , what I really want to know is , can I really shoot right handed and aim with left eye ? , is it hard to do ? Is it a bad option ? I hate buying lh bows cause you can't sell the or find good ones used like you can RH stuff , plus it seems every deer stand I have works best for right hand shots
