My little girl(8yo) does, she is a lefty and started out with a right hand bow. And now has a lefty, she is pretty proficient with both.

I shoot both sides of the bow as well.  Normally right, but my lefty ain't bad.

I built a bow for my brother-in-law a couple years ago and he's a lefty.  When it was done, I did some shooting with it to make sure it wouldn't blow up on him.  So yes, I can shoot both hands, but I prefer to stick to right handed so as to keep some arrows for future shooting.

I can shoot right handed but am much more comfortable and can shoot more weight left handed. I don't have a dominant eye. Or I guess I should say which ever hand I use that eye becomes dominant. I switched from right to left handed several times when I was growing up. Ambidextrous now.

Not me, can't keep the arrow on the rest. Guess that is why they made the wisker biscut.

I think most people can do it. It's more mental than anything. Just don't think about it. Do it.

I wish I could, I'm a lefty but I always have shot RH. My right arm was always stronger so maybe that's why.

I'm working on it with a couple selfbows.  Being left handed in a right handed world, I wind up doing a lot of things right handed anyway.  I decided last fall that it would be really nice to be at least proficiant out to twelve or fifteen yards.  Could almost double shotportunities, and be a neat party trick.

I can't even flip a light switch on left handed.

Due to a shoulder problem I'm going to be starting to learn.  Soon as I get the ambidextrous bow back from the guy I loaned it to!

I sur would love to have a light bow to practice shooting from the left, I'm ambidextrous for most things, but not for shooting!!

I can. I think it is a matter of just training your brain and practice using good form.

I'm a right handed shooted, but I feel my shooting is more natural left handed due to my left eye dominance. I have been known to duck tape the right side of my raiser (Use number 987,317) and shoot off my knuckle in an attempt to maintain muscle symmetry.
