Im left eye dominant and shoot right handed. I now close my left eye when shooting my bow. I have heard that's not proper but I don't care. It works for me. :)

I was born with a lazy eye which made me crosseyed  :o. I had 3 surgeries before 2 yrs to correct it but as a result I don't have binocular vision like most folks. Where if you look at your finger in front of your face and move it to your nose you'll go :o crosseyed, I no longer do that. I basically look primarily with my left eye and my right eye just looks next to what my left one looks at and is kind of ignored. So I'm left eye dominant and extremely right handed. Luckily the way it works I can switch my focus to my right eye easily so I have no problems shooting.

If you hold the bow with the left and draw with the right, that is "right handed" or right hand draw, which is the most common.

They say that people that use both sides of the brain may have other extra sensory perceptions.
~Case in point~  I was going for a walk yesterday and this person popped into my mind,  I know lots of people, obviously after 50 some odd years.  This morning I was walking into a place downtown and he was walking right towards the front door where I was heading.
Coincidence...?  This same thing has happened to me more often than not.     ???

I used to be able to do many things left handed when I was young, hockey, baseball and shoot, although not write.  Sort of lost the ability from lack of use over time but I did start shooting a bow lefty in the last couple years and I do prefer using a mouse left handed.  I can also use a shovel with either hand, that one comes in handy  :).

Personally I'm left eye dominant but with the exception of writing I am fully ambidextrous. I personally prefer to shoot my bows lefty so I can site better but otherwise its all back and forth for me.

     Right handed, left eye dominate.  Can shoot guns right handed, or left, but not write.
