Well, I am a lefty too.  What a long list! There are more of us than I thought.

I shoot a Howatt Hunter and Mahaska Custom. Am thinking about selling the Mahaska and buying a Bob Lee take down. (don't have a take down)

I'm down to one LB and one recurve, LB's a 59# All osage Stotler elite that's darkening up nicely after 15 years, and the curve is a 66# Quillian Patriot.

Long as I can pull this bow
Long as I can hike the hills and walk among the trees
I keep on trying
My goals are high but I don't care
The fun is in the getting there, it justifies the end
So try, try again

I am right handed but left eye dominant. Made the switch within the last 2 months to Left handed shooting. I have a Bear takedown and a Robertson Buffalo Bow. Really love the way the Robertson handles and shoots. I have a RH Robertson and wanted a LH when I made the change.

thanks for the kind words. My Dad wasn't too much of an outdoorsman but did just enough to really ignite a fire in me. I have his Bear Grizzly right here now and truly cherish it. You are so right...today might be THE day. I felt like a pretty good shooter RH but the switch didn't take any time at all to get use to and feels just so natural. I read GFA book on shooting and his writings in TBM and he said that if you are left eye dominant you need to shoot LH. I don't know enough to argue with him so I switched right after hunting season. Thanks John
