Default RE: Right hand Shooter Left eye dominant

My scenario is quite different than a lot of people's who have opposite eye dominance to the way they shoot. I damaged my left shoulder pretty extensively playing football in high school, and got to the point the I couldn't draw a bow very well without pain, and because of this and other variables, my form was HORRIBLE, and that may be giving it more credit than it deserved. So, I switched over, and trained myself to become "right eye semi-dominant" to shoot a bow. Now, shooting a bow right-handed just feels like its natural, but it certainly didn't at first, and my form is far better right-handed than it ever was left-handed, because I started from scratch, with no ingrained form flaws. I still shoot a rifle left-handed, and a pistol really screws with me, because I can shoot either hand and whichever hand I hold the gun in will take over dominance in my eyes.
