RE: Dominant Eye



Many English and other more traditional#coaches say shoot eye dominant. Korean and some other#coaches say shoot hand dominant because the feel the right hand is more able to control the string and the other hold the bow.#Their research#also applied to pistol shooting.#The section is p124 of Total Archery by Ki Sik Lee.</p>

&quot;Biomechanically this is better, as the dominant hand side is the more coordinated side&quot; </p>

He also said that its been added to the new FITA coaching manual, saying along the lines of good results have been achieved both ways but shooting to hand gives a better manual release, control and strength. A opaque eye patch is worn for a few months#to retrain eye dominace for aiming.</p>

But if its going to make your right eye worse then definitly put health first.</p>
