Bin ich Linkshänder?
«

I am right handed for most things and have a dominant right eye....
BUT.... After reading Bodnik's Instictive Archery book which suggested you should try both, I did...
Well, it just felt nicer and the arrows went where I was looking... This was a huge surprise.
Was this just beginner's luck or am I really left handed for archery?
Unfortunately I have ordered 2 new bows, which are right handed.... Should I stick with them and force myself to shoot well with them? Is this possible to go against one's nature?
Thanks
Alex (tentatively confused)

Hi Alex,
as far as I know, it's not really important whether you're right or left handed.
What makes the big difference is your eyes!
As you say, you've got a dominant right eye, in fact this is something you can check easily.
When shooting, it's important to get the string as close as posssible in front of your dominant eye, which helps you keep the right direction.
So if your right eye is really the dominant one, you're supposed to shoot a right handed bow, because otherwise your string is in front of the wrong eye - no matter, whether you're right- or left handed...

Don't tell it Howard Hill. He was a right hand archer with a dominant left eye.
It seems easier to shoot with the side of the dominant eye, but is depends on the feeling while shouting.
@ Alex: choose the side that feels more comfortable.

Again i´m on Grizzlys side
Do what's
natural
for you, with the "instictive shooting" it does not really matter what eye dominance you have , but if you force your body to do something that does not feel natural you will find it very hard to get a good hand-eye coordination.
me, for instance, i hold the bow in my left hand, but with the slingshot i use the right one, left just does not feel good.

oh dear... It looks like I have made an expensive mistake... I have bought 3 new right-hand custom bows...
I currently have a flatbow with no arrow shelf so can use that until I find a left handed bow...
Thank you for your advice.... Funnily enough I always shot my catapult with my right hand too as a child...
Cheers
Alex

@alex321: if the bows are
NOT
built, maybe you can cancel them or make the bowyer to build them for the other side side ..
other than that: there is always the BIETE section were you can sell them

They are beautiful bows... Two are built, one from Finland and the other Austria... the third is half built, but I am not sure to what stage... Lets see
Cheers
