    I am left eye dominate, I have been shooting a right hand bow and have to close my dominate eye to use the sight. I switched to shooting guns to left hand years ago and it has become second nature. I am considering switching to a left hand bow, has anybody had experience with this or recommendations. Thanks

    It should be an easy transition since you are LED. I have seen multiple people who are RED make the switch due to injury and do it very successfully. Being LED will make it so much easier.

    I made the switch 2 years ago, and shoot as good/better than I ever did. Didn't take much time to get used to it.
    There are lots of threads on here about it. Good luck.

    I went from RH to LH for the same reason, I switched back to RH last year. I'm also LED

    My mom is right handed but left eye dominant. She is shooting her gun right handed but has a lefty bow. Works good for her. Have you tried lefty bows yet? Maybe you can go to an archery store and try how it feels like.
