if yer local to mike, i'd take him up on his offer to hook up and get in some shootin' - i'm sure mike can get ya oriented to trad archery/bowhunting quite quick and well.
also as mentioned in my article, the arrow is *WAY* more important than the bow - a huge fact. which is why i highly recommend starting off with large feathered carbons, because then if yer missing you'll know it's not a bent or warped arrow that caused the misses, it was you (a form thing).

I've seen Mr Hill shoot on the History Channel! I'm nowhere near good enough to shoot aspirin or water drops! At best I can typically keep 95% of the arrows on the target at 25 yds (bay doors opened).
My old boss did have to mention from time to time about drawing the nock to the corner of my mouth. So I could definitely use some guidance as my form isn't always up to snuff.

the point about howard hill is that it's entirely possible to be left eye dominant and yet still shoot right handed.
i still recommend you find a competent local mentor - perhaps through a club or archery store. remember, trad only - any other kind of archery coaching just won't do.
