Learning to shoot offhand?
Hawkdancer:
Kyle,
That would be a big time OPPs! Remember, when shooting left handed - right hand holds bow, left hand releases arrow (SH), otherwise friends make lots of jokes about your technique! Not us, of course👹😂!

I think it would be a great skill to develope (SH)

I'll be counter-trend
I dont see any particular advantage to shoot offhand unless you're 100% satisfied with your regular shooting
...and I always see margins of improvement in my regular shooting :NN
TimBo:
I seem to remember reading somewhere that Glenn St. Charles and Fred Bear both switched to LH shooting to overcome target panic. I messed around with LH for a bit and found the greatly increased focus on form was really helpful. The hand/eye thing doesn't take long to adjust, but it is weird at first...it would be interesting to see how long you would have to work on "switch hitting" before you could lock in immediately from either side.

That's something I wanted to do since I switch when shooting with a Thumb Ring but I don't have any left handed bows that are light anymore..
