Changed my shooting style

(1/2) > >>

Strongbow88:
I have been making and shooting wood bows for almost two years now. I am left eye dominant and have been shooting right handed which just feels natural. My accuracy has been not so good at times and worst at other times.  I made a little spliced at the handle bamboo bow about 20 lb pull to experiment new shooting styles with. I just could not get the hang of shooting left handed. So I decided to shoot right handed but close my left eye. If I cant my bow and my head just right the tip of the arrow is in line with the flight. which leaves me with just the elevation. With just shooting a little this afternoon I see a big improvement in my shooting. Here is a pic of my main bow and the little bamboo bow just for laughs. which has no limb taper and was tillered by tempering and reflexing the inner limbs.

Little John:
It sounds hard, changing eyes and hands and alll. I find that when I draw deeply and with my back it helps a lot.    Kenneth

Postman:
I shoot the same way for the same reason. Found out I was left eye dominant looking at sight pins back in my wheelie days. My .000 little league batting average shouldv'e clued me in....
