Eye Dominance

A very important thing to determine when you begin shooting is your eye dominance. Your eye dominance can be determined by a variety of different ways. One way to determine eye dominance is to make a small hole by taking you right hand and placing the palm of it on top of the back of your left hand. The hole should be formed in the area that is between your index fingers and your thumbs. This entire process is illustrated above (by centenary archery club). Then you look through the hole with both eyes open at an object that is about 30 feet away. Make sure that you start with your arms fully extended. As you are looking through the hole at this object slowly move your hands, the hole, towards your eyes. As you bring them closer and closer to your face continue looking at the original object. Eventually your hands will be on your face and whatever eye the hole is around is your dominant eye. You will then use then when you are purchasing your bow. More people are right eye dominant then left eye dominant, but don’t be scared if you are left eye dominant because companies do make products for you too.
