I am, as soon as I shot a Lefty bow everything just clicked.
Silence over speed.  Heavier arrows never hurt.

I agree with bayoulongbowman, switch to shooting lefty, I did about 10-12 years ago, took about 2-3 months and I was shooting better than ever. If you are right-handed, your strong arm is your bow arm and you should have better bow control. I switched in the summer and was ready easily by bow season.

I too am RH but left eye dominant. Shot RH until this spring and made the switch. BEST thing I ever did for my shooting!! I was an ok shot RH but could not shoot truly "instinctive" as I had to look at the arrow and hold way to the right to hit where I wanted it to go. I read G. Fred Asbell article and he was pretty clear that if you were left eye dominant you should shoot LH no question. No offense to anyone intended but that whole "if you shoot truly instinctive it doesnt matter what eye is dominant" is a bunch of hoohey! Made the switch and it was easy as butter and didn't take me more than a few shots to get comfortable with it. Sometimes still pick up the arrow with my "wrong" hand but that is the only thing. If you are cross eye dominant make the switch. Sell all you RH bows and don't look back. As the famous explorer said "men we are burning the boats so there is no going back."

I am right shot left eye and have some issues as well. I have been trying to do more of a look where I want the arrow to go type thing. Its getting better and easier the more I shoot. I have played hockey for along time and the way you aim is to look where you want the puck to go and point the stick there on the follow through.
Until next time
