Righty or Lefty..?

[bow101]

The reason I bring this one up is just curious if there any that are right handed and left eye dominant.
I write left handed, but all sports use right, but I have batted lefty on ocassion years ago.

[Don Case]

I'm the same, detail work lefty, everything else righty. It's nice to be able to switch hit when you're shovelling snow.  I thought I was unique or maybe just weird. How do you determine eye dominance?

[bubby]

I bat righty but throw and shoot the proper way, although troweling I'm ambidextrous

[half eye]

I'm right handed but left eye dominate also. I can shoot firearms ambidextrous and use a baseball bat the same but all else is mostly right handed. Cant write, draw etc left handed.

Don, one way to determine that is to form a circle with your finger and thumb.....and with both eyes open "put the circle around some distant target (at arms length), and then alternately close first one eye then the other. The weak eye will not have the target circled where as the dominate eye will not move off of the target.

Left handed for writing and throwing a ball.  Just about everything else I do right handed.  Guns right, bows right, shoot pool right, bat both ways.

[Don Case]

OK I'm right eye dominant. I should hold the bow in my left hand so my dominant eye is close to the arrow?

Dont know about that Don....Guess it depends on you. I shoot my bow right handed but not only am I left eye dominate but blind in the right as well. By sticking to it I can shoot well enough to hunt ethically by my standards (which are pretty high).

This has been brought up several times. Sometimes turning into huge discussions. My boy is left eye dominate though and right handed. He shoots the bow okay, right handed, but the air rifle is another story. Trying to work through it w/ him now so he can try t deer hunt next year w/ a .410. He tends to look over the stock, w/ the air rifle it's okay, w/ the .410 it would be devistating to his face. Glad to hear what Rich said in his last reply.  I think practice is key to this. Like using a different type of release, get used to it and you'll be okay. IMO, dp

I'm left handed but I shoot right handed my daughter is right handed & shoots left handed I think the boy is going to be the same as his sister from watching him draw his bow.

[bubbles]

Righty and left eye dominant. I shoot left hand draw, so I can aim with dominant eye. I've always shot firearms right handed and closed one eye

[autologus]

If I didn't have a right hand I think I would starve, that's how right handed I am.

Left handed, left eye dominant, but I can shoot a bow pretty good righty, rifle lefty, write lefty, I can hammer either way, can shovel either side as well. Leftys are kinda forced to learn to do a lot of stuff rightly, it is after all a right handed democratic world

[lesken2011]

All righty here except for bows and long guns which are lefty due to left eye dominance

[Pappy]

Left eye dominant but shoot right handed,just learned that way before I knew it was supposed to matter and now to old to want to change.  With a rifle it don't matter ,I just close one eye.

I'm exactly the same, I'm left handed at writing and throwing a ball. I eat with my left hand but I shoot a gun, and bow right handed, and use right handed fishing pole. Could bat both ways and can do most things equally well with either hand.
