How do YOU shoot?

Cross eyed dominant. Not ideal but I tried switching and it didn't go well

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.

I learned from the start to shoot both Firearms and Archery with both eyes open. I do have little trick I started using when I shoot my compound bow with multiple pins. I start with both eyes fully open as I acquire the target better that way, but as I settle my pin into the frame I ever so slightly squint with my non-dominate eye, just enough to slightly blur the vision in the eye. This all happens in just a couple seconds. I also started doing the same thing when I shoot rifle. It works really well for me thru my process.

Right handed, right eye dominant.

Scopes, acquire target both eyes close left for precision aim. Same for bow.

Shotgun and pistol’s both eyes always
