Default Bow selection question.

Hey everyone,

I used to shoot recurve bows for quite sometime, I was right eye dominant and used a right hand bow. I recently had an accident to my right eye and consequently lost the sight in it.

I'm looking into getting a compound bow for hunting with, I have now become left eye dominant. I was at my buddy's place and shot his right handed bow left handed, although my grouping wasn't the greatest, it was better than the shot I made right handed(nearly missed the target.) This was also the first time I've picked up a bow in about 4 years, and also the first time I've used sights and a release to shoot with.

So my question is what are the physical differences between a left handed bow and right handed bow? I know that since my left eye has become dominant I should shoot a left handed bow. but would like to know what the differences are before I go shopping around.

Any help appreciated!-
Mark
