Why do you close your eyes to shoot? It is not necessary. The important thing is never to look at the arrow when you nock it. Always just keep your eyes fixed on the target.

In traditional Chinese archery, the bowstring had a string nock (弦心儿). You can also put one on to help you. If you bring your arrow nock up to the string nock from below, using your hand to feel the way, you can quickly learn to nock the arrow accurately very quickly without looking.
