What hand

[THE_NEW_GUY]

Okay I got a question. I'm what they call cross eye dominant. Meaning I am right handed but I am left eye dominant. I have taught myself how to shoot a shotgun and rifle with my left hand. Here's the question. Do I buy a right hand bow and close my left eye or do I buy left-handed bow Shoot with both eyes open? Now I'm not going to be hunting with this bow it's something just for fun. But I'm not going to rule it out , the bow could be for hunting later down the road.

Thanks for the help

From what I have told by Dr. is your dominant eye can and likely will switch though out your life. Mine did, that's why I mentioned it to my Dr.

I am a right handed shooter, but I am left eye dominant...When I started shooting a bow, I had to be very conscious to make sure I closed my left eye...Pretty much 2nd nature now.

What do you do when wing shooting? I have been told shoot with both eyes open or you lose depth perception.

Right handed here, shoot right handed but left eye dominant....gives me an excuse why I'm such a crappy shot.

Weird thing is I fish left-handed..... I'm all screwed up I guess.

Both eyes open while shooting means I miss the bird.....

Try shooting left-handed. Only took me about three weekends shooting skeet and trap to make you feel second hand.

I’ve been left eye dominant and shot right handed my whole life until this year hurt my rotator cuff so had to switch to left handed I wish I would have switched years ago it’s amazing actually seeing what your shooting at

I shot left handed as a kid, but switched when I was about 12...No left handed guns in those days (shot O/U's or single barrel trap guns)...When I bought my 1st Winchester Mod 12 trap grade...I switched to righty...It's really never made a difference...Just close the left eye or put a dot over your shooting glasses...Switch hit in baseball too.
