Just wanted to say hello
« on: December 12, 2012, 11:49:00 AM »
Just wanted to say hello,Ive been gone for a couple of years,had an injury at work and have been unable to shoot my bows right handed so after missing 2 hunting seasons I decided to learn to shoot left hand,definetly a work in progress,be happy to hear from any one thats made the change,Im right eye dominant so closing my right eye and gapping seems to be working but got along ways to go,any thoughts appreciated,Dave.

Dave  

I went thru that change about 5 years ago.
It took me about 3 to 5 months to get comfortable with shooting lefty.

I guess it was a bit different than your reason for the change,I went blind in the right eye at that time.

I also am missing a chunck of my middle finger down to the first knuckle on my left hand so as a split finger shooter its one above and and one below.

Good Luck.  :archer2:

An arrow can only be shot by pulling it backward.So when life is dragging you back with difficulties, it means that it's going to launch you into something great.

Ceme24 made the switch from right to left due to a shoulder injury. He's doing great now. Eye dominance is switching for him. Post up a question about it in the shooters forum. Lots of good coaches who could help you with that.

You can do it.  I did it to get past target panic. I  think i am shooting better than ever.  The rest was tougher for me.  Setting up for a lefty shot and moving like a lefty

Welcome back. Keep truckin' along. You can train your brain to make the change, but it will take work and time.

Keep us posted and keep near the campfire. We'll be here.
