I shoot righty and lefty, left eye dominant but shoot a little better righty. Go figure.

I shoot lefty at 3d shoots but have killed all my deer righthanded. Shooting both ways seems to keep me balanced plus you can find some really good buys on lefthanded bows.

I am able to shoot with both hands, but as a result of an accident unrelated to archery I am highly restricted on bow weight RH (reason I switched).  

I am naturally a righty.  I am adequate LH, and it keeps me in the game.  I can pick up a hunting weight RH bow and be pretty good quickly, but the shoulder will hurt for weeks afterwards, so I quit doing that.

I tried shooting a lefty bow once. My brain wanted to let go of the bow instead of the string. After a few failed attempts I handed it back before I hurt myself.

As noted before, nocking the arrow was the hard part.

I shoot both right and left handed all the time...there might be a chance I would shoot better just one way but I have no desire to do that...I think it is a great excuse to own more bows

I set out a while ago to reduce my herd of 40 bows...And I am finally down to 42

Nope!

100% righty for me. I don't think I could brush my teeth with my left hand!

I've got a little  video  in the sponsor's  classifieds  under   wool quivers  where I'm shooting my old  Bear  Alaskan  both ways.  It's fun.  Haven't shot nuthin  lefthanded but thought   it might come in handy in the deer stand if your not sure which  side they'll be coming  from.

I have a double shelf, and I can shoot both hands. I'm just not that good lefty because of lack of practice.
I will give thanks to the LORD because of his righteousness and will sing praise to the name of the LORD Most High.
