Arrows shooting off to the right

Ok Here’s a good one.

First shoot outdoors this season. As I hadn’t shot outdoors for some 12 years ( a long break) I thought 40 yds for me.
Sighters, arrows were going well right of the target, being left handed I wound out the sight ring an inch. Arrows still going out to the right. Hmmmm wound sight ring out as far as it would go, still the same problem.. So started aiming to the left hand edge of the target... arrows were centre height but on the right hand edge of the target.... Hmmm Houston we have a problem. After much playing around with the button, tension how far it was in or out. Same thing, yep off the right, grrrrrrrrrrrr.

What am I doing different I thought, nothing obviously wrong. So I sat out of the next end for a think, by this time the sun had disappeared behind a cloud. Sunglasses went onto top of head, didn’t need them now. Up to the line, arrow nocked, come up to full draw, loose....and the damn thing went to the left.

I was my sunglasses obscuring my dominant eye. (I shoot with both eyes open).

Had this problem for a while, until I realised I was opening my left eye (the dominant one) just prior to shooting the shot.

Glad you managed to solve it quickly.
