Is this wrong???
 

Ok fellas here is the deal, I am left hand dominant and I shoot rifles/shotguns left handed. But when I took up bowhunting I gotright handed bow and never looked back. It seems wierd even to me but it seems to work alright. Oh ya by the way I am left eye dominant also. Maybe I am just a freak of nature.[8D]I wonder if I should try a left handed bow just to see what would happen. Not that I want to switch or anything.

If you can hit what your aiming at have at her. My brother was the same way. We switched him to right hand eerything.

RE: Is this wrong???
 

When I was little, I couldn't close my left eye while leaving my right eye open, so I had to shoot my rifle/shotgun left handed for years while I am naturally right handed. Now, I have trained myself to be able to close my left and keep my right eye open, so now I can shoot left or right handed and both feel very natural.

if you can consistantly hit what you aim at, and are comfortable with your form ,then leave well enough alone .


when its working ,you dont mess with a big leagers swing , so dont mess with a bowhunters form .

RE: Is this wrong???
 

I am left eye dominant also, I have been shooting left handed since I was about 5. Everything else I do is right handed but shoot my bow. I would say you should give it a try, you never know how good you could be.

i guess i'm fortunate, while i was in the military i learned to shoot both left and right handed, given proper circumstance i can shoot as accurately left as i can right, but i prefer right... actually, when i got to the pistol/rifle ranges i practice left handed just in case it is required for a shot i may have to take... good to keep and edge when you can...

RE: Is this wrong???
 

I can hit what I aim at but it just makes me wonder if I would be better left handed. Thus far I have nevershot a deer and not be able to find it with my bow.

Bob, if you went to a shooting coach, he/she would try to convince you to shoot left handed....period.

Try it after the season. I can shoot both ways...I'm obviously better right handed because I'm right eye dominant as well as right handed....

You might be surprised once you get "oriented" to it.

Ya good luck finding a shooting coach in western Iowa. Except maybe Antler Eater. Shoot we have to drive 60 miles to find a pro shop that works on bows and sells them. But that is some good advice Rob and I will consider just that. Not gonna try to change now with bow season right around the corner.

I am left eye dominant, but I'm right handed. I shoot my bow left handed, andI can see the target alot better! I would give shooting a left hand bow a try.:D

RE: Is this wrong???
 

i am the same way i am left eye dom. but right handed which can suck

when i got my bow three years ago they told me to get a left handed bow.

But since i had always shot everything right handed i went right just had to adjust my sight a little more but i shoot dam good right hand so i wont even think of changing

RE: Is this wrong???
 

I'm right handed, left eye dominant, shoot rifle and pistol accurately either hand, but I only shoot a bow right handed. I'd love to try shooting lefty and see how I feel/do, but I haven't found someone around here who's a freak of nature lefty to borrow their bow... ;)

Just kidding, my wife is a lefty.

If you are left eye dominant the experts say you should shoot lefty.

RE: Is this wrong???
 

experts are nothing more then people like you or me that think they know what there talking about

like i said i am left eye dominant and right handed but i still shoot right handed as good as i think i would left handed

but yes the people who get paid to tell you to go buy a new bow (the people in the shop tell you that ) not that i am talking about the people on the outdoor channel or so ontry both way i was going to the shop were i bought my bow told me if i could not shootright handed they would switch me out to a left hand bow no charge but i did not need to
do what ever make you comfortable and helps you get a quick kill because thats wat it is all about how quick and painless we can kill the game
