Turkeygirl Posted September 22, 2010 Report Share Posted September 22, 2010 I dunno what it is this year...Shot great at camp. Had a G5 meta peep put on, I swear since then my shooting has gone downhill. Last week shot great. Today, and maybe because it was a little windy, but shot not so great. I decided though to put my peep sight with tubing back on. For some reason I feel like I just can't get used to the G5 peep....same hole size but maybe because it's more open...I don't know, call me weird. Finally after I got the peep and tubing back on, I drew back and I dunno but it felt more normal for me, guess why fix something that ain't broke. Will shoot tomorrow, not today, pointless to shoot when I'm frustrated. Any tips from you guys? Maybe I'm not following through on my shots....

ruttinbuc Posted September 22, 2010 Report Share Posted September 22, 2010 Take a breath, draw, aim, settle, take a breath, squeeze, follow through, ya weirdo!:clown: Try not to make it more than what it is. It is not like you don't know the basics. If you shot well in the past you should be able to shoot well in the now. I use the one shot at a time method with a lot of emphasis on that very first shot.

Turkeygirl Posted September 22, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 22, 2010 So I went back out shooting after I put my tubing peep back in. Well I decided to try shooting with both eyes open, and I may be on to something. Always shot with left eye closed to to my right eye injury ages ago which left me wearing a contact lens. I have about 20/20 vision, but without the contact, I'm essentially blind in that eye and don't have great peripheral or depth perception. Well I found tonight I can focus with my right eye still on the pins and have my left eye open. I was able to see my arrow in flight and for some reason, my shots felt better! Arrows hit a little high and 20 and 30 yards but consistent. I swear I did better with 2 eyes than one...Now I'm thinking maybe I should continue shooting this way...Or am I dillusional? lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ruttinbuc Posted September 22, 2010 Report Share Posted September 22, 2010 I have been shooting with both eyes open for quite some time. Makes a big difference in low light. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RUTNSTRUT Posted September 23, 2010 Report Share Posted September 23, 2010 I personally don't like the bright blue of the Meta peep, I have trouble focusing when I look through it. I had similar issues a few years ago when I switched from a Jim Fletcher peep. Took the Meta peep off and put the Fletcher back in and I was shooting great again.

The Kid Posted September 23, 2010 Report Share Posted September 23, 2010 I have been shooting with both eyes open for quite some time. Makes a big difference in low light. ever since i was a kid,, it allows you to see the target after the shot without jerking your head, i tried shooting with one eye yesterday haha almost missed the target Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ethan Givan Posted September 23, 2010 Report Share Posted September 23, 2010 I have shot with both eyes open for a long time now. I recommend trying it to anyone who still shoots with one eye closed. Helps in low light, allows you to see the whole target and around the target, and makes it easier to see your arrow through flight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ruttinbuc Posted September 23, 2010 Report Share Posted September 23, 2010 The only other thing I might try because of my glasses is a verifier to try and bring things into better focus. I have tried to stay away from it but aging eyes are pushing me that way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turkeygirl Posted September 23, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 23, 2010 Shot my bow today again, both eyes open...so much better. Actually slightly squinting my left eye slightly really helped. I think I'll be shooting this way from now on! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
