Default RE: Left eyed, and right handed????

ORIGINAL: Angus74

Im having a little trouble with a decision on this. I have a young son, soo to be 4 years old, I want to start him in shooting both guns and bows as soon as he shows interest in doing either one, and is big enough to do each safely. My problem is,, He seems to be right handed, but does do things with both hands, so Im not 100 % sure. But he is definitely left eye dominant, Im 100 % sure on this. Should I start him out shooting both guns and bows left handed because of his dominant eye?? Ive been told it wont make a difference to him, if it is the only way he has ever done it. So should I teach him to shoot left handed from the start, with his eye, or start him right handed, and hope he dont have trouble aiming accurately. Please give me some advice on this. Thanks in advance.

What a dilemma,,, I think I'd teach him to do some things with both hands... My wife is left handed, however she does every thing with her right, except write... tongue twister...
