Hey All!
Found out in the past couple weeks while shooting some BB gun and archery with my 7 year old that she's cross eye dominant. We tried to set her up to shoot LH with the BB gun but she said its super uncomfortable. She uses her left eye in a really weird position to shoot the BB gun and has been shooting a bow last fall a bit and a bit this spring. Until I had her on the BB gun I couldn't figure out why she always hit to the left with the bow, but now it all makes sense.
Thinking of getting her a LH recurve to fling some arrows and see if she can shoot LH instead of RH.
If that DOESNT work, then obviously shooting both eyes open would be a start, but very hard for her as she gets double vision trying it. When I block her eye with a patch she can shoot with her right eye and very accurate.
Thoughts? Many people been through this with a kid?
