I was told that when aiming, I shouldn't close one eye, as it will affect my tridimensional perception.
Whatever works for you! If you hit the bullseye consistently, you’re doing it right.
I have zero experience with a bow, but with a firearm you shouldn't unless you're using a scope with zoom. If you're using iron sights you should definitely have both eyes open. That would lead me to guess that would be true for a bow.
It affects your depth perception, so it's harder to tell how far away your target it, but it makes it easier to see if you're correctly lined up with it horizontally.
