As for dropping my bow arm, it's not so much an issue after the shot, whereas when I'm actually aiming. I will line up my pin and try letting it float over the spot, and almost immediately my arm begins to drop, and then I have to fight it back upwards to get it to stay and when I do this, it leads to fatigue and my arm begins to shake even more causing my pin to float much much more.
This, my friend, is what's referred to as the dreaded TP... unfortunately, I doubt switching bow arms is going to cure that in and of itself... Learning to achieve a surprise release, with back tension, is what's needed here -- along with plenty of time put in on aiming drills without the act of firing the bow.
That's what I was afraid of. I suppose either way I'll need to incorporate more aiming excercises/blank bailing. I'm working on the surprise release now that I have my thumb-trigger release, but still.
I added a poll, and I know some of you may think I'm making a mountain out of a mole hill, but I need to really come to a final decision one way or another. I'm either going to have to commit to this LH deal 100% or I can keep doing what I'm doing with my RH setup. Let me tell you guys this...I'm OK with losing the field of view and light gathering advantages of keeping both eyes open IF I won't be SERIOUSLY holding myself back by shooting with my non-dominant eye. For the record, I have excellent vision, so that's not as much of an issue here.
