LEFT eye dominant, RH shooter...

[graybarkhunter]

anybody out there shoot this way? i do everything with my right hand: write, throw football,drill on teeth, use striker on a slate call, cast a bait and shoot a sticknstring.  only thing i shoot left handed is shotgun. im left i dominant (as i cannot wink my left i and keep my right i open) and shoot bow RH, i shoot with both eyes open and pretty decent groups and it feels comfortable, but would it make more sense to try a LH bow, or just keep on keepin on with what im used to and have always done?maybe im thinking too hard about this??///

You are thinking too much. If it aint broke don't fix it,LOL.

I have been shooting a bow for over 40 years and shoot right handed and am left dominant. Lots of archers are. Fred Bear was right dominant and shot left handed. Glenn St. Charles was right dominant and switched to left handed due to a bad case of TP early in his career. If you shoot instinctive and keep both eyes open it maters not which eye is dominant. Bunch of people will tell you to switch but there is no need if you shoot instinctive, now if you shoot gap or use the point of the arrow as a reference then you may have to switch.

If you're happy with your performance on targets and game then why switch. Just have confidence in what you are doing. That said,I'm RH, LE as well and I just learned to shoot LH from the beginning so it always seemed natural to me. Maybe after hunting season go get a cheap/used LH bow at a light weight and give it try. Just commit at least a few weeks to the effort, it may surprise you.
