who can shoot righty and lefty?

[ibehiking]

I shoot mostly left handed, but have started trying thumbring shooting RH. I am left handed but right eye dominant and thought I would give it a try. The drawing motion and the sight picture are differnt enough that I should not get confused about which one I am doing. Time will tell.

I've started learning to shoot left-handed.  It took me a long time to be able to feel my back muscles and know when I was pulling with them rather than my arms shooting righthanded.  Hopefully the learning curve will be quicker shooting lefthanded, now that I've learned to feel them on the right side.

I like the idea of shooting both ways, both to keep my body in better balance, and to extend my shooting time.  I don't know that I would ever hunt lefthanded, unless I happen to get better shooting that way than I do righthanded.

Same here. I am left eye dominant and although I'm weaker left handed my aim feels more natural. I would shoot left handed at an animal if the circumstances arose

I shot LH since 1991 but have switched to RH within the last 3 yrs. I am very slightly right eye dominant. Occasionally I do get out my LH Widow and shoot.

I'm all messed up. Natural righty. Left eye dominant. Shoot bows left handed. Darts left or right. Rifles either way but usually left. Pistols right handed but cross my arm over to use my left eye for sighting.

I tried shooting a bow right handed once.....it wasn't pretty.

I alternate each day, can miss as well either hand.  I find it interesting that when I am shooting particularly well or poorly it often carries over to the other hand as well.

I agree with easyup, seems when it's a bad day it's just a bad day. I shot right mostly but switching to left just because. It was strange at first but almost natural now.
