Ki Sik Lee suggests that shooting handed rather than eyed gives an archer more benefits.
I am right handed, what are the additional benefits, or where can I read Ki Sik Lee's suggestions. I didn't think that archery was handed as such...

I believe that over the years I will have built muscle memory that can be dredged from what remains of the grey matter. Changing now would be like beginning again. All I've heard suggests that shooting with the dominant eye has more benefits, but I'd like to be persuaded otherwise.

If I were to continue right handed, I could use an eye patch so I could keep both eyes open.
