If you have an interest in archery, you understand how important good vision is, if you want to hit your targets consistently. There are several ways to become more consistent. Plenty of practice is one of the most common ways to become more accurate. But, there are plenty of other ways to help improve archery skills.
One way to improve your skills is to use and archery eye blinder. There are many reasons to use an eye blinder. All of the benefits lead to improvements in hitting your targets more successfully. Much of the success of using an eye blinder depends on eye dominance.
Most people see better out of one eye than the other. But, if a right handed person has a dominant left eye, this can cause problems during archery activities, such as causing double vision of the targets. This is undesirable and can be corrected by using an archery blinder. An archery blinder addresses the problems caused by the dominant eye.
The blinder attaches to your cap and covers the cross dominant eye. By covering the eye, you can learn to focus your other eye and train it to help you focus on the target. There are many other reasons why it might be a good idea to block out one eye when practicing archery. Some people find it easier to focus on the target with one eye.
Some people have an astigmatism in one or both eyes. The blinder eliminates the effects of astigmatism caused by one eye and can reduce it in the other eye as well. But, there are also other benefits of shooting with one eye.
Many archery enthusiasts believe that when one eye is not substantially more dominant than the other, it can be difficult to focus on the target. In such cases, it may be easier to block one eye or the other using a blinder, while determining which eye is best for focusing on the target.
Using an archery eye blinder can help with focus and hitting targets for a number of reasons. Eye dominance, cross dominance, and astigmatism are some vision issues that can make it more difficult to consistently hit targets. The solution is to cover the cross dominant or less dominant eye, so it does not fight with the process of focusing with the dominant eye. A blinder attaches to your cap and is easy to use for any archery activity.
