Well Bow Walker there seem to be some common issues here regarding Archery and glasses. I've bow hunted off and on for thirty or so years and gone from pins to instinctive, to multi pin, and now back to a single pin with peep sight. Usually no problems, but...
One day, at thirty yds., I took a shot at my target and missed by several feet LEFT ! Elevation was fine, but horizontal was way out. I looked at my pins, peep, whisker biscuit etc. All appeared to be in order, so I lined up and shot again. This time I closed my left eye... bingo, bullseye!
So what had happened? The only thig I can think of is that my right eye( dominant) didn't " like" the view through the partially obstructed peep and my brain switched to Left Eye image. Does this make any sense? :confused:
I've always shot with both eyes open, I'm now thinking I'd better be closing my left eye if I want to hit what I think I'm aiming at.
