This is wild, I didn't actually think this would get that many responses. I'm genuinely surprised at the closeness between 1E and 2E shooters for both disciplines. I was expecting a bigger gap than that, favouring the 1E crowd. Not that the firearm crew is all that close, but again, closer than I thought. Should have added slingshots and crossbows.... Shocked no one mentioned the crossbow at least!

Thanks everyone! Lets see how much farther we can go!
 
I shoot shotgun both eyes open and am cross eye dominant.

I shoot archery both eyes open and cross eye dominant.

I retrained eye dominance for shooting.
 
I hunt in the Eastern woods and always have. Its a lot easier for me to quickly get game in the scope in thicker woods with both eyes open. I started out as a boy shooting running rabbits and squirrel's and flying doves with a shotgun so maybe thats where I got the habit of keeping both eyes open. I didn't start hunting deer and hogs with a scoped rifle until I was well into my 20’s.
 
I’ve been shooting archery with one eye, but this off season I’m working on switching to both eyes open. A week in and I’m already shooting tighter groups at close range, but we’ll see what happens once the weather warms up and I start shooting outside further out.
