Learning to shoot offhand?
Pat B:
Glenn St Charles mentioned it in his book..."Billets to Bows". He had to switch due to an injury and said after a few weeks he felt confident in his left hand shooting.

I think I'll play around with it everytime I'm out shooting. With my luck and the way I shoot, I wouldn't be surprised if when I hit full draw I relese with my right hand and end up having the bow come back to me.

Ha that's a good one Kyle. I'm pretty sure the first couple will feel very uncomfortable. Hope it works out for you.

Pat B:
You might start off with a lighter weight bow if you have one just to get used to the oddity of shooting offhanded.
Urufu_Shinjiro:
This is something I really should learn to do as well. In the Saracen archery manuals as well as some of the Chinese treatises this sort of skill is considered fundamental to archery, especially among horse archers as you may be called upon to make a shot off the other side of the horse unexpectedly.
