Anyone had success shooting with your off hand?

I'm curious if anyone has been able to shoot with your other side. I'm tempted to get an offhand bow just to fool around and see what happens. I'm a righty and my left is pretty much weak but I thought it might be a good tool to balance the muscles and develop some skills.
Any thoughts?

I shot RH from 1966 or so until 1996. I've been shooting LH since. I'm right-handed by left-eye dominant.

P.S. I hope none of you who know me will take this opportunity to remark on my lack of success shooting with my dominant hand. That would be just wrong!

I switched to overcome some tendinitis for a bit, and realized Im not half bad LH. I have a few dual shelf bows when the occasion arises. Give it a whirl, you may be surprised.

I am right handed and right eye dominate, I have neck problems that keeps me from shooting right handed. I tried left hand shooting, it did not work well for me. I am now using a thumb ring and shooting left handed with a right handed bow. It is working well, I hope to hunt this was before the season goes out. Bill

Success as far as critters killed?
If you mean that, then no...
But I think you saw me messin' around at Solana(with your Kanati you sold to David)...I believe I could definately pull it off...

I can't even flip a light switch left handed.
I tried one shot with my buddies LH bow. I almost let go of the bow at full draw! I never tried the 2nd shot.
