Why were you shooting a left handed bow right handed??

I could give you the smart answer - Because I can!; but that would only be partially true.

There are two reasons why I shoot both ways. I used to shoot only right-handed but because Ibecameleft-eye dominate over time, I decided to switch. Switching over to a left-handed bow gave me a better sight picture. I've since gotten a contact for my right eye to make it better but I still prefer to remain predominatelyleft-handed in the event my contact fails (which it did once last year while hunting).

The other reason I wanted to develop shooting skills left-handed is so that I could tune/set-up bows for my left-handed customers. I used to get one of my left-handed techs to handle this and it was a burden when he wasn't available.

Since I can shoot equally well with either hand using the same bow, and since not being able to maneuver for the shot one year cost me a nice buck, I now wear a release on each hand when hunting and will take a shot either way without having to stand and maneuver.

In my seminars I always suggest to the Dealers in attendance that they learn to shoot both ways to benefit their customers. It will also benefit them in the long run.
