Shooting left handed is very fustrating. I ordered an alpine stealth vx 12 weeks ago and they tell me that it might be delivered in 3 more weeks. They original told me 6-8 week delivery, and I was happy with that. I aslo bought a vital bow sight at a show and the person there told me it was for a left hand bow. It turns out to be a right hand sight. Vital bow doesn`t put right or left hand cofiguration on there label. I contacted vtal bow and they said to use it upside down. Not much help are they. Anytime I want to get a new bow they say you have to wait 6 to 8 weeks. AR Rep told me they were not going to make a left hand bow. I have a bad right eye (can`t see in low light), but I can shoot right handed. This is an advantage because I can try a right handed bow. It`s difficult to buy a left hand bow because when you go to a shop most of the bows are right handed. If you are lucky the dealer might have one, but as usual it has they wrong draw length or the wrong poundage.

I started out shooting left handed because i was......well.....Lefthanded. However my right eye is dominant so I switched to a right handed bow and shot much better. Now my right eye has developed ghost/double vision so now i shoot left handed again. Its hard to share stands with your buddies because they setem up
for shooting right handed and mine are setup for left. Its a might lonely being a lefty.[:' (]

Here' s another lefty. When I bought my last bow, they had three Hoyts I liked. Wish they would have only had one because it was hard to choose. My son just bought a left handed Hoyt at a Cabelas in Wisc. He got a heck of a price on a last years model. As far as the other stuff goes, it' s not an issue. Shoot, I' ve been left handed all my life, I' ve learned to live with it. Jim

Gods way of putting a handicap on great hunters is to make them shoot left. Yeap you guessed it i am a southpaw as well. Do everything right but am left eye dominant so shoot bows and guns left. I was lucky that my proshop an hour away will bring in bows for me to try, with no purchase required. However I can' t get him to bring more than 2 at a time, as he needs to sell them. Been pretty lucky, since I do the research and check out right models, so I can narrow the choice before hand. Accessories are near impossible to get as a walk up customer, like someone else said they always want to flip the site upside down, rather than special order. My frustration is the mark up we pay being left eye dominant. I don' t mind waiting but paying 1/3 and up higher is a bit much at times. I have found archery equipment better than rifles though, so that' s a plus. It seems you can get almost every model of bow left but limited in choices with rifles & styles & the mark up is unreal...booooooo[:@]. But have learned to live with the supply and demand BS of being left and I can shoot much more accurately so I guess it is a price I am willing to pay...just wish I didn' t have too
