Default Left Handed Bows

Can anyone give me a run down of all the manufactures that make left handed bows.

I'm switching because of an eye dominance problem.

So far, I've checked both the the big un's, Hoyt and Mathews. I shot a Cybertec, and like it alot. I even plunked some money down on it. But, before I spend the rest of my moldy money, i'd like to look at some others.

thanks for any info.

Most mfrs. make left handed bows. The problem is finding a proshop that stocks left hand bows to test! I am a lefty and shoot Dartons, but have shot Mathews, Martin, Jennings products all of whom make nice bows. The best shop that I know of in your area is Macrotech in Baltimore, MD. Len stocks a lot of bows from about maybe 15 mfrs. Give him a call at 410-786-7777 it maybe worth the trip to you. I'm sure that he has some left hand bows to shoot, he has anywhere from 300-500 bows in stock at a time depending on the season.

Aim Hard!

Welcome to the Forum. I am a lefty and shoot a custom made Bowman. Stewart Bowman makes them one at a time in Phoenix. If that appeals to you send me an email and I will line you up with him.

I'm also a lefty, I shoot a Q2XL by Mathews and love it. It's stable, no recoil and backed with a lifetime warranty. They are expensive, but what isn't in archery? All my bolt-action rifles are lefty as well, so I'm used to dropping a few more dollars to get what works. The good thing about being a lefty is that most other people aren't, therefore they can't shoot your bow.

Have a look here:

It may not be seriously what you want, but it would be the perfect bow for someone who could not make up their mind, or was ambi.

Thanks for the info guys.

I"ve pretty much made up my mind. I went back to the shop yesterday, and they just got a left handed Cybertec in for another guy. He was there, and he let me to shoot it for a bit. It's just one awesome bow.

I plunk down some money, and it should be here in 3 weeks.

Thanks again

BigBob....

I was trying to keep an open mind on selecting a bow.

Even though I have shot Hoyt bows for the last several years, I by no means am totally closed to buying another brand of bow.

Last night, I drove almost an hour to go look at yet another pro shop. He carried Champion, Bowtech, and a few others. He had a left handed Champion, and a few others. I did not find one that felt right in my hand.

I'm still not done looking either. I have my Cybertec on order, but you never know, I might find a better bow. I'm constantly looking for the "next" bow I'm going to purchase.

Buy the way, Champion makes one heck of a bow for the money.
