5 EASY STEPS TO TEST EYE DOMINANCE:	1. Go to where you can see an object that’s at least 10 to 20 feet away. A wall clock for example. 2. Overlay your hands, making a circle between them about 1 inch in diameter, and extend your hands to arm’s length. 3. Keeping both eyes open, use the circle to visually frame the object. 4. While making sure you keep the object framed, pull your hands slowly back to your face. 5. Your hands will draw naturally to your dominant eye. In rare cases, new archers will not have a dominant eye. When this happens, it’s best to use the dominant hand to draw the bow. 1.
