What's up with the "Angry Pirate" look? Pop an eyeball out straining while taking a dump? You really should try a laxative next time!
ARGH!

I have to hunt an shoot with a eye patch covering a small portion of my left eye..So I figured why not make my avatar(dale) have one?....

You should try the lebron and dwayne wade thing...glasses with no lenses in them...then put a lil piece of paper over the other ...have you seen trap shooting glasses that have spots on them to keep your left eye from taking over? some say its better because you can use your periferial vision to help stabilize you in the stand.

I have shot a few LH bows at the shop...I looked an felt like a monkey trying to fugg a football..I would get a Crossbow an shoot LH,before I can make the LH vertical bow switch...
Yes my L eye is dominant..And I am unable to close the L eye an keep the R eye open(but I can do that vice versa)...
The patch covers very little of my eye.So little that I can still use both eyes with binos and such..Once I get lined up to the string and peep at fulldraw,it seems to block everything else out(tough to describe maybe?)..
Stabilization and balance isn't a issue,at least it doesn't seem to be..But I do lose a small amount of vision to the far left...
Just shoot with both eyes open. I learned to do that so I don't get tunnel vision and miss something during the moment of truth that would cause a mistake...

Its very difficult for most ppl to train to shoot both eyes open when looking through the peep with the NON-dominant eye,which in my case I would be doing....The non dominate eye wants to take over,which in my case is very strong v.s my RH non dominate eye which I look through the peep with...
Yea, keeping both eyes open won't work if his left eye is dominant. The peep won't even show up in his line of sight. Anyone that is right-eye dominant, pick up a shotgun lefthanded and try to look down the rib with both eyes open... All you'll see is the side of the barrel.
OMO, can you train yourself to close your left eye or is it not physically possible?

I can close it,just not independent of my RH eye..... I aint sure honestly on the training part..I have been meaning to talk to a Dr about it since 2006 an never got around to it....
You can train it OMO. I shoot right but am left eye dominant. Now all I have to do is look through the peep and blink....right eye is the one now focusing. I do the same thing for firearms. Takes a while but it can be done.

Some can,some cant on the training aspect.......If you mean blink with my L dominate eye while keeping the R non dominate open,that isn't a option for me at this point......Thanks for all the input an thanks for making fun of me greg:smiley_arrogant:

Also wanted to add that I have alot of respect for anyone who has taught themselves to shoot both eyes open,especially when shooting cross dominate
Sorry dude, I just wondered what the eyepatch was fer! If it makes you feel any better, I am left-hand AND colorblind!
