Like being right or left handed, each individual has an eye that is the 'normal one' to use for certain things. It is very easy to determine. Hold up your finger and put it 'on' something at a distance. Close your right eye and see if your finger is still 'on' the item. If it is, you are left eye dominant. If you close your left eye and it is still on the item, you are right eye dominant. The only time that this has been a factor to me is when shooting a pistol. Knowing this improved my score at the firing range, because I would aim with my dominant left eye, rather than what I thought was normal, using my right.

Is left eye more important than right eye?
It depends on which is your dominant eye. To find out, point at something a few feet away, then close one eye. If the finger is still pointing at the object, the open eye is dominant. If it is pointing off to one side, the closed eye is dominant.
What hand should be your bow hand if you are right eyed dominate?
Yes, it does make a difference. When an archer is right-eye dominant and shooting right-handed (or left-handed/left-eye), the arrow sits under (or almost under) the dominant, or "aiming", eye; the arrow is often used in aiming, especially in "instinctive" shooting, i.e., without the aid of sights. Being left-eye dominant while shooting right-handed (or right-eye/left-handed) moves the "aiming" eye to the extreme side of the arrow, affecting accuracy. The only way to counter-act the affect of using the "wrong" eye for aiming is to close the dominant eye and force the non-dominant eye to take over; this is not really an option when shooting "instinctively", because both eyes are needed for depth-perception.Cross-dominance (left-eye/right-hand or right-eye/left-hand) is not such a problem when using sights, but it can be.The best way to solve the problem is for the cross-dominant archer to re-train her/himself to shoot with the "wrong" hand. If right-handed, learn to shoot left-handed; if left-handed, learn to shoot right-handed. it may be awkward at first, but the rewards in increased accuracy are worth it.
What does the master eye do?
Tells the slave eye what to do. Seriously, in shooting it is called the "dominant eye" and it merely means the eye that your mind prefers to use. Here's how to determine which is your dominant. Pick a target, such as a doorknob. Point your index finger at it. Use the hand you prefer to use, right or left. Now close/cover one eye without moving your finger. If you're still pointing straight at the doorknob, then you've found your dominant eye. Most people are right hand/ right eye, some are left/left, and ever rarer are those who are opposite right hand/left eye or left hand/right eye. Good luck.
