Right hander shooting a left hand bow

Thank You to Everyone for the help.

I have known several that have changed over, some because of shoulder problems but most for eye dominance or target panic , just took a little time but most all are shooting very good now. It gives you a chance to start over and if you had any bad habits in form it is a great time and way to start anew. I am left eye dominant and thought about changing but just haven't done it,[to old unless I am forced to like you] heck I don't even like building a left handed bow for some one, I just don't see how they do it :-\ I get Will or some of our left handed guys to shoot them and check them out, of course hadn't work trying very hard. ;) :) :) Good luck, it will come around.

PEARL DRUMS:
I can shoot so-so left handed, playing drums pays dividends in that regard. I would suggest starting with a very low draw weight. Then work up to a hunting weight bow. It will feel better, you will have more control and it will dissuade poor form from starting in. I have made 4-5 lefties and always enjoyed shooting them in.

I’d also suggest some physical therapy for that shoulder. If the doctor recommends it. Sure saved mine. Just took a few weeks and some exercises and it’s fine now. Sure hope you can get it healed up. Mine wasn’t any fun before.

BrianS:
Have a Doctors appointment in a few weeks for the shoulder but for now, shooting left hand gets me back in the game. I plan to shoot left hand every day. This morning (day two) was much better than the first day. Not great groups but better. Thanks Everyone.
