A 2022 systematic review of fourteen studies covering 2,759 athletes from eleven sports, some of them in archery, finds no study that has linked the eye and hand dominance profile to psychological, cognitive or tactical traits, and already names the instruments for doing it. In the same year a small Turkish study offers the only hint: in twenty-six students after an eight-week beginners' archery course, all shooting right-handed bows, the seven with a dominant left eye make more marking errors on the d2 attention test (error rate 12.1 against 8.4 per cent), but their attention and concentration scores match those of the nineteen with a dominant right eye, 464.5 against 461.5 and 149.8 against 142.4. They are university students on their first course, not archers, and the d2 test has nothing to do with shooting: for the registry this is evidence from the general population. With seven people on one side and one measure out of three that moves, the hint points two ways and cannot carry a mental profile; in competitive archers the question has yet to be asked.claim:dominanza-oculare-tratti-mentali:revision:2026-09-05:2Sat, 05 Sep 2026 08:00:00 GMT "An archer's eye and hand dominance profile says something about their mental make-up" added to the registry as Transferredhttps://matteocampagna.com/en/registry/mind/eye-dominance-mental-traitsclaim:dominanza-oculare-tratti-mentali:new_claim:2026-07-30:trasferitoThu, 30 Jul 2026 08:00:00 GMT
