Shooting left and right ?
« on: May 16, 2012, 10:38:00 PM »
I am a natural left hander and shot left handed for many years. Had some TP problems and several years ago went right handed. I am a three under shooter and have done all right shooting RH.

Started messing around LH again lately and am shooting accurately (actually about the same, am left eye dominant)

I shoot a tab and left handed the tab comes off my hand quite a bit (even though it is a tight fight on my finger.

Any advice?

Thanks

Have you posted this in the Shooters forum, those cats have awesome advice about everything shooting related.

I agree with the shooters forum.  I had a student in my archery club that lost her tab on almost every shot.  On release she opened her fingers.  I lightly taped her fingers together to have her feel the difference.  Once she started keeping them together the tab stayed on.
The season gave him perfect mornings, hunter's moons and fields of freedom found only by walking them with a predator's stride.

I wonder if it's'a product' of' you throwing your fingers open when you release?

I am right handed and left eye dominate. Sometimes if I don't really concentrate, my left eye takes over and I will get a nice tight group to the left of where I was aiming.

Any chance your eye is messing you up with your switch hand shooting.

I am left eyed dominant and a natural lefty for my whole life. I went righty several years ago and am accurate shooting righty. I have always shot lefty once in a while just to keep in touch. Shooting righty has lessened my TP shooting lefty considerably. I shoot exactly the same style right and left. 3 under and straight up and down bow. I am as accurate righty as lefty. Very comfortable both sides. The only difference is the tab comes flying off my hand left handed even with a much tighter fit of the tab.
