I am also right handed but left eye dominant. I shoot my bow left handed with my right eye closed. Lots of practice but it will work. Good luck.

 

I am a right handed and I am left eye dominant, I shoot my bow left handed... and guns with my left too.

 

another way is if you dont want to get a left handed bow you can cover your left eye with a patch and shoot with your right eye.....it takes a lot of practice but it forces your right eye to become stronger and will switch your eye dominance.

 

I have that problem. I'm left eye dominant, but a right hand shooter. I suck it up and close the left eye.

 

Well, for now my bow is right handed. I'll just have to focus on the eye issues a little more.

I never even thought of trying a left handed bow or shooting left handed. I'm going to check out some other types of sights this weekend if I can make it to the store.

 

that kinksway sight is about the best peepless sight i have found give it a try i thinks i paid 130.00 good investment great in low light

 

i am left handed and right eye dominant. 25 years of shooting with my non dominant eye has trained my left eye to focus well on the target and i can shoot well with my non dominant eye. since my recent shoulder surgery on my dominant armi am now considering getting a right hand bow and learning to shoot righty.

like i said its up to you if you wanna spend the money but a lot of practice and train your eyes

 

I think some of you are confusing the issue of eye dominance. It comes down to a simple solution. If you are shooting from the cross dominant side you "must" close the dominant eye! No sights or tricks will stop your dominant eye from affecting your sight picture.
The best advice is to switch and shoot from your dominant eye side. If that's not practical for whatever reason, then you must close your dominant eye when shooting from the opposite side.

 

I am right handed and left eye dominant. I eliminated my peep sight and installed my sight all the way over so I can use my dominant eye.

 

Just shoot lefty whats the big deal. I am a righty and left eye dominant , most of my firearms are lefty and my bow is a lefty. Cost 10 to 20 dollars more for the bow or firearm and the good part is most people wont ask to borrow your stuff. It takes 1 to 2 months to build up the muscels and we have got 6 months untill the start of the 2011 fall bow season. Enjoy the new bow .

Sorry but that is Not correct. I am left handed and left eye dominant. I learned to shoot, throw, catch, etc. right handed because the only way I could get a baseball glove, or anything for that matter, was as a hand me down from my right handed older brother.

To deal with this First, I draw my bow, anchor the kisser button and close my left eye only long enough for my right eye to acquire the sight pins through the peep. Then I open the left eye and and shoot with both eyes open. If I'm ever unsure, I can close the left eye for a split second to check.

Like everything it takes a lot of practice and concentration in the beginning but for me it's become second nature.

Good Luck

 

id say just go blind fulled and see what happens hahaha nah joking i have no clue u figure it out n let me know [up]

 

I have a problem with my right eye but shoot my bow right handed...so I built out my site so I could look with my left but still shoot with my right.

This is true, you can improve how you see things but will never ever change the dominant eye. I have to close my left eye for my peep but as a righty shooter, it helps me pick up the arrow after releasing as I have a cleaner view of the flight path.

The thing that I cannot do with the cross eye dominance is shoot clays/trap/birds. Had I started shooting earlier and practiced more, I could probably get around it but never really put the time in to train the eye while swinging and shooting.

You can say my statement is incorrect, but if you look at what you're having to do to shoot accurately, that is incorrect. If that is the process you must use to shoot, and you've become use to it that's fine. But I would challenge you to find a description of that form of aiming in any archery book. When the "moment of truth" arrives, whether it's a bull's eye or a buck, the last thing you want to do is start opening and closing eye's and confusing your whole shot sequence. Way too much unnecessary thinking when you should be concentrating on aiming.

 

I have bad vision in my right eye, therefore I have to shoot my bow left handed. I close my right eye only so that the left will focus better.

Is it the "correct" way to shoot? No. He asked for tips and ideas. Is this an alternative to trying to learn to shoot with the opposite hand, absolutely. Shooting with one eye closed also reduces your field of view and screws with your depth perception.

Think what you had to learn to shoot. Draw and rest your hand in the same spot every time, kisser button in the corner of your mouth, nose on string, find the pins through the peep, grip but not too much, keep you arm out of the way and so on. It is muck easier, talking from my own experience, to learn just one more step than everything all over.

When the "moment of truth" arrives, whether it's a bull's eye or a buck, the last thing you want to do is start opening and closing eye's and confusing your whole shot sequence. Way too much unnecessary thinking when you should be concentrating on aiming.

Again from experience, I have never had a problem at that "moment of truth". I've taken Bull Elk, mule deer, pronghorn, black bears, whitetails all over North America and never missed for that reason. I have missed but we won't get into that.

What ever direction you take just remember to practice, practice, practice. Good Luck

 

i am left handed and right eye dominant. 25 years of shooting with my non dominant eye has trained my left eye to focus well on the target and i can shoot well with my non dominant eye.

For me this is true except change that 25 to a 45.

I would have done better had someone forced me to shoot lefty (I had no real teachers or mentors with archery or bowhunting) like I do with guns, oh well not changing now.

 

I am lefty but right eye dominant and play golf and shoot righty. Put both thumbs and index fingers together and look through that hole at something. Wink with both eyes, whichever eye is lined up with that object is your dominent eye! The just practice.

 

I am left handed but right eye dominant. I learned to do a lot of things right handed including shooting for a while. But, I was never really comfortable with it. So, I started to shoot left handed using the non-dominant eye. I have shot that way for over 30 years now without any problems.
