    Default the eyes have lost

    Ok, so I was reading a new archery book....blah, blah, long story short. I was doing the predominant eye test and have discovered that my predominant eye has changed from my strong right eye to my weak left eye. I shoot with both eyes open and release with my right hand. I don't have any real problems. Has anyone one heard of this?

    Yes, actually it is common for the dominant eye to switch to the "better" eye if something were to happen. You can actually test it out on yourself, do a dominant eye test but "hinder" your regular dominant eye in some way like placing a finger directly in front or looking through something opaque. You can almost feel the "switch".
    My wife packed my bags and threw me out, as I was walking out the door, she told me "I hope you have a long and miserable life!"... To which I replied "Oh, now you want me to stay?!" LOL

    Don't know how old you are, but it's said that one's eyes sort of equalize. So maybe what you're seeing. Like I'm dominant left eye, but shot a bow right handed so long to the point I don't have a problem.

    hen I was in my teens I found my eye switched sides. I had been shooting guns and bow since birth and had to rereach myself a new habit. I am right handed and am forced to close my left eye at all times.....

    39 years and counting. Only on rare occasions will the left eye take over. I have to blink hard to refocus. Hutch is sooooooo funny.

    Don't know about these guys with pink this and that. And down in cresting arrows too, some guy has pink vanes. Nearest thing I got pink is one arrow with the Zeon vanes, supposed to be red. ONLY ONE! And used it only for testing. Show up? Glow? Pffft. Wouldn't have them if someone was to give me a truck load.
