A question for all you lefties

[Automan26]

I hear a lot of left-handed shooters complain about the difficulties they have finding lefty equipment. Would it be better to start a newbee lefty out shooting as a righty or would it be best to let nature have its way? I have heard of several lefty shooters who have crossed over to righty with success. If someone is brand new to archery, can a lefty start out and learn as a righty with the same expectations of success down the road?

Have him shoot to his dominate eye. If he is left eye dominate left handed, right eye dominate right handed. I wouldn't force someone to shoot opposite for ease of getting equipment. Especially with the internet it is very easy to obtain left handed accessories. Left handed bows do take a longer to get from some manufactures others it is the same wait time.

I agree with BB, go with eye dominance.

I agree with BB, go with eye dominance.

I feel soooooooo stupid!! You guys are right, eye doninance is too critical to overlook. Sometimes I put my typing fingers in gear without first remembering to engage my brain. (You would think that by now I would be used to it) ;-{

My daughter is right hand, but shoots left hand due to eye dominance.
I shot left handed for 20 some years,due to a stronger left eye. It would over power my dominant eye. When I got glasses in my early 40's, I switched to right handed since my left eye was no longer stronger. Never had problems with switching.

I agree with Blind Buck as well

Same as above. With bow makers today you don't have to wait that long to get equipment. The Internet has opened up a lot of verity on bows.
