Cross-dominance

Cross-dominance means that your hand dominance (e.g., right-handed) does not match your dominant eye (e.g., left eye dominant).

Example: Right-handed + left eye dominant = cross-dominance.

Importance in archery:

  • Affects the choice of shooting side (right- or left-handed bow)
  • Can impact aiming accuracy
  • Often leads to side hits if not addressed

Possible solutions:

  • Conscious technique training, adjust the shooting side to the dominant eye, cover the dominant eye (e.g., with a lens cap)
