How many lefties do we have on here

[Cody Roiter]

Hello Guys, I wanted to know how many lefties there are on TG.. Also if you are a left handed what old bows are you looking for and if you have a hard time finding them...

Let hear it guys.......

Hi Cody; I'm a lefty (I shoot left handed, but write right handed; kinda ambidexterous I guess, or maybe I'm just wierd).

I live in the beautiful North West (WA) and I'd love to come across a long bow made by Duke Savora, a bowyer back in the 70's I believe.  I own a recurve made by him, a fine bow, 60# at 28" that draws amazingly smooth.

Hi Cody,I guess that everybody knows here what I am looking for and how hard it is to find them, for me....

[azdriheat]

Left handed here and not really looking for anything new. If anything, looking to reduce  duplicates of LH 64, 66 Kodiaks and 1970's Super Kodiak.

Im a lefty but shoot bows and guns right hand.

Cody, Thanks for asking. I am right handed but left eye dominant so just this past spring I made the switch to left handed shooting and haven't looked back.

Does seem to be harder to find certain bows....but I guess that's how it goes. More rightys than us leftys.

Always have my eyes open for left handed vintage Bear bows. Kodiaks, Kodiak Specials, Super Kodiaks, and Cubs. A LH Cub was the first bow I got when I switched and it just fits me like a glove.

I shoot left handed...no choice...left eye dominate...cause I'm blind in my right eye...LOL.
Pretty much have what I want in left handed bows...until the next hot urge strikes....

I'm right handed, left eye dominant so I'm a lefty by proxy.  Just found a 59 ks (thanks felix) but always looking for 59 - 62 kodiaks or 68 - 70 kodiak along with the rest of the free lefthanded world.  I've started building (trying to build) primitive bows again so I've been distracted.

Cody,

I am looking for 1959-1962 Bear Kodiak or Grizzly. Thanks. Ken

[Horney Toad]

I'm a lefty. Not looking for anything in particular. Sometimes I think a lefty has a better chance finding stuff.

Lefty here too, still looking for a  1961-62 Kodiak

Dear Mr. Cody,

I'm left handed.

But I'm not some crazy shooter. I'm a BOW, an honest-to-goodness left hand 1953 Bear Kodiak!

 

I am the predecessor of every hand-handed bow today's fortunate left-handed archers are shooting. I remember Fred Bear. I recall a new plant in Grayling where I was made. I recollect the beginnings of a new age for bowhunting, an age in which bows were more readily available, more durable and more consistent performers. I laid the groundwork for everything archers and bowhunters enjoy today.

In spite of being nearly 60 years old, I am in pretty darn good shape. My original grip leather is a bit tattered, but still there.

 

My decals are sharp and bright against the burnt-orange limb glass that I've worn on my belly and back for all these years.

 

 

My distinctive brush nocks are still as well done and beautiful as the day they were sanded smooth in the Grayling plant.

 

I am also a genuine, super-serious big-game hunting bow with a draw weight of 61 pounds, a length of 64 inches and a serial number that reads 15431.

 

Here's the sticker, though. My current owner is a goofy right-handed shooter. Gasp! He doesn't have a clue what it's like to be left handed. He can barely hold me properly, much less appreciate me. He even had trouble gripping me for the following photograph. What a loser.

 

I need a rescue! I need a new home, a left-hand home with a serious left-handed shooter who will understand and fully appreciate me – someone who can grip me properly and feel the old Grayling days and Fred Bear flowing from me to them.

The next photo shows just how bad things are. It's a stupid photo. I'm propped on an antelope's head like a broken hoe.

 

I deserve better than this. Rescue me. My dumb right-handed owner would trade or sell me cheap. PM or email him as soon as possible – bill@zebrapub.com.

Long live left-handers!

Bill, If that post doesn't get a taker, nothing will.
I have it's right handed brother I got from Ray earlier this spring. 60#,and braced at 8", very quiet and fast.

I am left handed but right eye dominant.I write and eat left handed but shoot right handed.

[wadde]

I am a lefty. I am a staghorn bow. I have light blue/green glass both sides with black glass overlays on my tip fronts. I am in nice shape. I have a nice birdseye maple riser with accent stripe and rosewood. Original rug on the shelf. Stamped into my riser is J2120D HM60" 43#. No holes original staghorn decal that is nice and I will clean up nicely. I am looking for a home. PM's are welcome.

I am right handed but left eye dominant so  I made the switch to left handed shooting 50 years ago. I look at every left handed bow I can get my hands on.

[csimpson]

Lefty here, picked up 1960 and 1962 Grizzly in last couple of months

[billy shipp]

I shoot both right and left handed, but most of my bows are lefties, and I normally shoot better left handed. Shooting bows is the one and only thing I can do left handed.
