Aiming Eye

The aiming eye is the eye located behind the arrow when aiming. This eye is used to line up the target. Ideally, the aiming eye is also the dominant eye. A right-handed archer usually has the right eye over/behind the string and should be right-eye dominant. When a right-handed archer has a left-eye dominance, this is referred to as cross-dominance.
