[QUOTE="P7M13, post: 1909672, member: 94154"] I'm right handed, left eye dominant. It was at an action rifle shoot that the RO watched me and suggested I start doing everything left handed. My accuracy went up noticeably on the first outing. I shoot a 2012 Matthews RH Solocam both left and right handed. The aim is the same, just note the touch points. I was in Archers Afield in Tigard, OR, and note the new ones have that grip yoke that forces you to use the bow with the hand it was designed for. All my rifles, including my BP flinty, are RH. Even Monte Carlos and rifles with exaggerated cheek swells will shoot well left handed. Thumb hole stocks, not so much. IMO, consistent sight alignment and trigger work make the most. It's way easier to concentrate on the front sight when you use your dominant eye. Learning to shoot pistols left handed has been difficult. Edit to add, I find I can work the bolt and rechamber a round much faster when shooting left handed. [/QUOTE]
