Big Decision...RH to LH...questions.

RE: Big Decision...RH to LH...questions.
Matt, I am not sure if we had this talk, but I am in the same situation. and I already know that my next bow ( with in the next few months) will be left handed.
The coach that I currently have may or may not be worth his salt, but I will be taking this advise.[8D]
I've said it before and I'll stand behind it, any shooting coach worth his salt will not only suggest but presuade you to shoot to your dominant eye.

I don't anticipate it being all that hard to make the switch. I actually hope that it is awkward..I am looking forward to being able to start all over and not have any old bad habits. Just another plus to the whole deal.

If you close one eye it doesn't make a difference, only if you shoot with both eyes open does eye dominice make a diff. I am left eye dominate and shoot LH and it sucks being a south paw when tring out equipment because LH equiptment is not usually found on the shelf. Sometimes you can;t shoot bows or use equiptment until you buy it and than its too late and your stuck with it. I personally would make adjustments elsewhere as being left handed in archery just flat out sucks.[X(] Good Luck.

i am lefteye dominant but have always shot rh and wish that i would have started Lh now. Every time i shoot the only way i can see my sights well is to force shut my left eye which in not a big deal. however when i open my left eye back up it is blurry. after an afternoon of shootin i get tired of wiping my eye open. Iwill continue to shoot rh though i am to old to change along with other problems like my bumb left shoulder.

I made the switch this year, from right to left. Had good groups 2nd time out, and from there its almost like I have always been shooting left, it was really not a big deal.

Many a World Class Archers out there shooting with their non dominate Eye!
There is 3 reasons to change your shooting hand to your dominate eye.
1. Is if your vision is actually noticeably weaker in your shooting eye, and have trouble focusing on the target.
2. For some reason you cant squint, close or cover you dominate eye.
3. If the top 2 dont pertain to you, the only benefit is a slightly larger field of view.
There is no doubt that some will shoot better when they switch hands to their dominate eye, but it is because they are paying more attention to the shot process (starting from scratch), and has nothing to do with the eye.
It's a simple fact, if your doing your part and your pin is on the bullseye when your release goes off, the arrow is going to hit where the pin was.
Most people's problem is with their shot process, not their eyeball!
