Ambidextrous Bows

[Gdpolk]

As for the glove issue, maybe look into some padded golf, cycling, weight lifting type gloves.  These are often padded only in the palms areas and made of some nicer leathers.  

You may also be able to find a Mechanix glove that you like either at Wal-Mart or a local hardware store.  I've used them in the past as a thin layer of insulation on bitter cold days to keep me out of my thicker gloves.  The leather on these is nice and soft/supple with a pretty decent grip that's similar to actual skin.  I don't like shooting in gloves that have the little rubber gripper dots on them.  I don't know why but it messes with my mind to have more traction sometimes and less sometimes so I look for gloves that feel the same as my bare hands when shooting.

I have my old solid glass Ben Pearson longbow! Rubber handle, dual shelf, fun to shoot & brings back fond memories...

Sorry for the inconvenience or the grammar I'm posting voice recognition from a phone I have a sun bear dial shelf 64 pound 62 inch longbow.  I love it and it's not for sale but it's a great advantage if you have an issue and you need to shoot left-handed of course I love to shoot left-handed on occasion anyway Just For Kix to keep my self in check in case I ever have to use it

Thanks for all the ideas!  I discovered that my right/left discrepancy was functional, not physical.  I played around with my 30# limbs and was able to get the same draw length.  It took a lot of conscious effort but I eventually got myself to come to the same draw length on both sides & reset my clicker to the new draw.  It put my arrows way out of tune but I was going to fletch up some stiffer shafts anyway.

Over the last week, I made one of my boys a simple pyramid bow & started another one for my other son.  I'm no expert bowyer by any stretch but my son's bow shoots better than anything he has used to this point.  So I think I'm just going to build a dual-shelf pyramid bow for myself for back yard practice & work both sides.  Shooting left handed is definitely helping my back issues.  It will be nice to not have to constantly switch risers/limbs and should be a very fun project.

Terry good to hear you are shooting both right and left handed...I used to try to tell people why I do it...now I just say I do it because I can

I had Craig at HHA make me a no shelf, I actuall named it "AMBI"

What I like about mine is that when I find a perfect place to sit, I can change hands to allow me to use that spot best and it has paid off.

I've always thought about getting a dual shelf bow. I like the idea of having both on the same side. I never knew there was bowyers that would do it though and I don't much care to hunt with a light weight solid glass bow. I get a lot of opportunities on the wrong side. It's like they just know
