Default Switching to southpaw?

Hey All,
I've been into archery now for just at 3 years. I shoot RH in firearms and bow both. I am however left eye dominant. At present I shoot well, but cannot keep both eyes open while shooting bow. With firearms I have adapted well, I track with my left the close it once on target. Shooting clay pigeons helped with this, and not too many rabbits or birds get away.
Archery however, I would like to be able to aim/shoot with both eyes open. I have tried and at best have to squint my left eye if not close it altogether. Have any of you had much experience with this as well? I've started to consider switching to a south paw. I'm going to buy a new bow after this season is over and am a little timid to switch, but not opposed to it... Have any of you tried switching? How did it turn out?

Thanks,
R
