I switched about 3 years ago after shooting about 37 years right handed. I ended up with a whole different style. I am now shooting better than I ever shot before. All I can tell you is what Jim Castro told me, " concentrate on every shot ". Wish I would have switched years ago. ChuckC is right, setting up while hunting is all backwards. What a trip!

When I was in my teens I broke my bow two days before the opener.  The only bow I could find to borrow was a LH.  Shot it for two days and killed a deer opening morning.  I still shoot RH but practice both for the fun of it.  They say as you get older it helps to use the opposite hand.

Always shot right-handed, but now that I'm practicing almost everyday, switch to shooting my Kaya KTB left-handed w/ a leather thumb ring on alternate days w/ my Bear B-handle Green Stripe.

Have you ever checked to see which eye you're aiming with when pistol shooting? I shot pistol competitively for nearly 20 years until I developed a bad tremor in my right hand. Now I shoot only two handed. I know I aimed with my right eye, but thinking back on it, I might have done even better if I'd canted my head just a bit and shot with my left eye.

I switch back and forth every shooting session:

 - right-handed --- shoot my Bear Custom Kodiak T/D w/ a Black Widow Super Stick Tite glove (anyone know anyone else who makes this pattern, preferrably w/o branding?)

 - left-handed --- Kaya KTB w/ a thumbring

It works fine so long as I remember to take my glasses off when shooting the Kaya (right-eye dominant, but shoot w/ both eyes open either way).
