Default RE: EYE DOMINANCE

I know that this is an old thread and I thought I would respond by saying, that it was helpful reading your responses and knowing that I'm not the only one with eye-hand cross dominance (left eye dominant and right-handed). I found this site by surfing the 'net about archery and left-eye dominance issues within the sport of archery.

I'm very new to the sport and on the fence about whether I should purchase a right-handed bow or a left-handed one. I just came back from one of the local archery shops this afternoon and found that I'm very comfortable shooting either way, although my left eye wanted to take over when I was shooting right-handed. When I did shoot right, I had a better grouping of arrows on the target. The sights were a little off when I was using the right and left practice bows, though. The bows were recurves and I want a compound. The archery shop didn't have a left-handed compound for me to practice with that would fit my size, reach and draw weight.

I am interested in the sport and would love to go hunting with my husband. I just want to make sure whether that I get the right bow that I can 'grow' with rather than being unhappy with a bow that I'm not comfortable shooting.
