I am right handed and left eye dominant.  I shoot everything (pistol, rifle, bow) right handed and I have learned to use my right eye when shooting.  Sometimes I'll have an arrow fly "crazy" because my left eye takes over.... but for the most part the switch to right eye dominance when shooting is not a problem for me.

I've tried the switch to left hand shooting but it I can't hit nothin' that way. ;D

when you guys talk about "eye dominance" does this mean you are using a particular eye to sight along your arrows?  I just look at the target and shoot...and if i'm off a little bit, nevertheless i group up really tight.  I'm nearsighted, so that could be part of the problem, as I tend to hit right of center with matched arrows, but they all pretty much rub together in the face of the target...

Come on and get with it.........Eye dominance is easy to figure out....keep both Eyes open.....now point at something with them both Open.....close one Eye...then the Opposite...now which eye made the Target jump??? The Eye that didn't move the Target you were aiming at...is your Dominant Eye

I shoot with bows with both eyes open. I thought that was the way your suppose to shoot anyhow. :) You can train your non dominate eye to be accurate though I did it with a compound using sights.

several years ago I switch from right to left becauce I would lose the target will coming to anchor.  now I shoot a hole lot better.
crap or not I believe there is something to eye dom.  I still shoot pistols and long guns right handed.( pistol a little bit better left handed)  so if you can get your body to work lefty I say go for it
