good luck, and hope your eye heals, which it will..................

I had to make the switch in October due to an incomplete shoulder surgery recovery. I shot a bow & arrow right handed for 70 years, then switched to left handed shooting to bowhunt this past fall. I'm not going to say it was easy because it wasn't, but I am convinced that if a person really wants to do it and works at it they can do it. It takes some effort but it can be done. Apply yourself, work at it, ask a friend to coach you and it will eventually come around. I am still learning this left handed way of shooting and it still does not feel as comfortable as right handed shooting once did, but at least this kept me in the bowhunting game and was able to keep shooting a vertical bow. Good luck to you, you can do it.

I asked him about the Dominate eye & he said no problem . Just ignore it . He was right . Turned out to be a pretty good Golfer .

I stayed in camp for 2 days shooting a backup Pearson stick bow right handed with both eyes open .

On day 4 I killed a nice rag horn at 22 yards . I think the dominate eye think is 1/2 mental.

Bow brand choice is kinda like Ford and Chevy, one guy swears by 'em and one guy swears at 'em.

If you stick with a major brand and buy one of their better models, I don't think you'll go wrong. Over the years I have owned and shot (not that I am an expert) pretty much all of the brands out there and every year each brand will have models offering different features. You can buy bows with aggressive or smoother draw cycles, reflex or deflex risers, single or quad limbs, short or longer axel to axle lengths, high or low handles, and a host of other features which may or may not be on the model you look at and choose. If you buy from one of the major companies with good customer service, a reliable warranty program, and choice of models you won't go wrong. Get what fits and is comfortable to you,...be it Hoyt or Mathews, or another brand. For sure, buy from a pro-shop and establish a relationship with them. You might spend an extra nickel that way but in the long run it will be the least expensive way to go. Competent and good service to you as a customer is invaluable, and something you probably will not readily obtain at a big box sporting outlet. Don't be swayed too much by the local club expert who says to only buy brand "X" because that's what he shoots. That bow and that brand may work him but it may not for you. Sure, trust the advice of your buddies, but in the end go with what feels good to you and seems to fit the best. And then believe in your choice and have fun with your new bow. Good luck.

I think your body will adjust and your right eye will work out fine. Give it time, and you'll be good to go. We all had to learn once, and are capable to do it again.

A friend shot right handed/left eye dominant and used right handed bow but had his sight windage bar adjusted out (basically the distance between his eyes) and used the No-Peep, so the pins and No-Peep were aligned with his dominant eye.

There may be other non-string peep replacements that could also be adjusted to work. For that matter for relatively close range you may be able to get by without anything except nose point of contact and moving your pins out quite a ways.

I've seen some guys that would probably shoot better that way;)
