    If he is right eye dominant I can see why he would do this, otherwise IDK

    Although I dont follow this rule, I think it would be best to get him a bow that matches his dominant eye. Left eye dominant, get a LH bow, right eye dominant RH bow.

    I'm a righty, but shoot lefty:D I'm left eye dominant, and like Zach said, especially if starting out, start him out with his dominant eye.
