Can You Close 1 Eye With The Other Open And Vice Versa ?

I shoot with the frame turned on its side facing left and hold with my right hand....the problem is i can shoot both eyes open but prefer one eye shut but I have a problem i can open right eye and sight along the band no problem with left eye closed but if i try left open right closed i cannot seem to be able to close the right without my face screwing up and affecting the open opposite so i tryed an experiment with an eye patch over right eye.

My shots were more consistantly accurate with right closed or in my case patched over lol.... how should this be ??? I thought right hand holding then the right eye will be more aligned with bands but it turns out the left eye looking at target which feels more uncomfortable hits the spot better more than other way round ? im confused...

Please Help if you can

If you hold it facing left in your right hand... some called gangsta... your left eye would be more lined with the band to the upper fork, and if you use the slingshot to help reference your aim, that would be the ideal eye to use (left).

However, if you want to hold the slingshot the same way and use your right eye, that should be possible.

You will have to make some slight adjustments to your form though, because it will cause you to raise and shift your fork to cater to your opposite eye.

Two things you may have to do.

raise your pouch anchor (left hand) and/or tilt your head down abit.

This is all with the assumption that you are using the upper portion of the upper fork as site reference.

Make slight adjustments bit by bit, taking up to 5 shots at a time between adjustments. this will give you an idea how it effects your ammo placement.

Good Luck

maybe you need to see an eye doctor for some eye wear . . .
