No they have a "blimker type thing in front of the eye as IIRC closing one eye can effect the other.

Yeah, but the point was that many of them effectively use only one eye. How they achieve that isn't that relevant.

I suppose it makes sense. If the yellow blob is consistently poorly defined it doesn't make much of a difference in terms of aiming at it. It just makes it difficult to determine where the arrow has landed, and that's where his team mates help out.

If there is a war, I think i prefer to be on the side that can see where they are aiming. Friendly fire is scary enough as it is

Albeit a nuke doesn't seem very friendly, and bows and arrows aren't often used, but my point stands
