Title: oops
Post by: H-MANEOD on July 22, 2012, 10:12:00 PM
Should have changed from right hand to left hand a long time ago.  Had a club shoot yesterday and improved my score by 13 points with only a few days of left handed practice.  The OOPs is that I have a 5 month old a Maddog 47#@28" LB.  Guess I'll need to post it on the classified.  Should have changed a long time ago

Why did you switch? I went lefty about 6-7 years ago due to eye dominance and will never look back.

The same reason.  Once I get a more natural feeling, it will even get better!

Right you are.  I made the switch several years ago due to the eye dominance issue and should have done it way before I did.  I've never looked back.

I am right handed, but left eye dominant. I tried to shoot a left handed bow and for me it was the most awkward thing. Now, I just try and concentrate a little harder or even close my left eye.

Blue Tick, it is extremely awkward for a time--I had to stop and think how to even put on my arm guard bassackwards, but you adjust much quicker than you would think. The adjustment was well worth it to me.  I would do it again in a heart beat.

Blue Tick, left handed with left eye is the trick!  Want to buy a RH Maddog?

My daughter is righthanded and left eye dominant. I started her fresh at 11 years old shooting lefthanded. She's picked it up real quick. Definitely makes a difference.
