I'm a lefty that shoots "right wing", fletch, that is.

Everything lefty but swing a bat. The coach made me learn right handed when I was a kid.

Just waiting for them to pass the law to thin those righties out of the herd. It's either that or don't let them breed.

Prof- but one thing you can't deny, Lefties are a fun bunch compared to those run of the mill righties, eh? grin

I'm a true lefty and have the first grade ruler inprints on my left hand to prove it! One thing that might explain all of the left handed archers is target panic. I know 2 RH guys who had TP so bad they switched to LH and another that called me tonight considering it.

 Personally, I don't think that makes much sense to do....but I'm not going to argue, its more LH bows for me to try/shoot....grin

Beendare:

Funny you should mention righties with TP switching to lefty. A friend of mine has recently done the same thing, and it seemed to work for him.

Im right handed for everything, except trad bows. Left eye dominate and it works for me. 8^) As for the majority being left, I dont find that. Im 1 of 3-4 out of 30 guys on my league. Also when looking thru the classifieds, the left handed bows are few and far between.

I'm RH but Left-eye dominant.  Beendare is right in my case re: why I switched from Right to Left in 1996 after shooting right for 28 years. I had target panic so bad it was about to run me out of archery. I had tried all the "remedies" as this thing grew progressively worse over an eleven year period.

Since I'm left-eye dominant it made sense to switch.  The TP was instantly gone, with the very first arrow.  To prevent TP on the left side it was important that I learn what causes TP and how to prevent it which I also did. I'm convinced if one doesn't focus on the process of shooting over the result, TP will result. Worthy results are a by-product of correct process and thinking.

What I have learned from all of comments is that an archer who shoots with his left hand does not a lefty make.Thanks Guys
