Default Have you ever tied this?

After visiting Len's shop a few weeks ago and almost missing my flight, Len was talking about shoot bow left and right. That got me thinking because I'm left handed, Shoot bow right handed, shoot gun left handed, bat right handed and throw left.

Can you shoot your bow with your other hand? Can you even pull it back? I couldn't even budge it. I chaulk it up to all of the years of practicing oneway.

I've tried drawing it back with my left, but I couldn't quite break it. Probably because the muscles on the left side shoulder/back aren't developed for drawing the bow like the right side is.

I'm naturally ambedextrous........throw right, bat left, punt left, place kick right, left eye dominant shoot right handed etc.

I can pull a bow pretty easily and naturally left handed, I just haven't actually tried shooting one. I think if and when I do try it I'd like it to actually be a lefty bow as well.[:-] Not going to be trying it with mine anytime soon........at least not with a good arrow.
