I am left eye dominant but right handed an have always shot right handed... Considering new bow rig, should I go to a left handed now or stick with what I am use to?
New Bow
- Thread starter Billtoledo
- Start date
Try left handed. I switched over because as a young kid my dad wouldn't let me get a new bow and made me shoot his lefty. Now my shoulder is all jacked up and I can't shoot right handed anyways.. Anyways switching over isn't that difficult but it does take time. I actually have a lefty PSE EVO for sale if you are interested
Thnx, a buddy gave me an old left handed bow... My son says I should go lefty!!! Looking at the Bowtech Carbon

I am left handed and right eye dominant, so I shoot right handed. Makes a big difference in being able to see your arrow in flight when you can keep both eyes open to shoot. Good luck with it.

I started a thread on here a while back on the same subject.
I have the same situation.
I switched to a left handed bow a few years ago after shooting right for many MANY years. I stumbled upon some internet articles that made me consider it. Ruttin hit the nail on the head. Shooting right I would get two target images and my brain naturally picked the dominate one when the pressure was on.
I spent several hours and a couple of trips shooting left at the bow shop before I made the leap.
They didn't mind since I ended up spending about $900 before adding everything else.
I'd do it again in a heartbeat. It took a while to get used to it though.
Make sure you have several months before getting in a hunting situation.
It actually wasn't the mechanics of the shot but rather nocking the arrows that was foreign.
Feel free to PM me if you have any questions.

whats a good bow for a starter? mainly for target but maybe to hunt rabbits later on..i dont want to spend over $30 but i dont want a little kiddie play set lol. do you have any ideas?
i dont really hunt with bows so i dont even know where to start.
it would be really cool if it was a wooden bow, but i heard that cost a lot more.
