    Recently started Archery and have gotten used to it now. My form is good but I am struggling with aiming. I think thats down to the bows i've been using. I am right handed but my dominant eye is my left so im in a pickle. Strangely enough I actually haven't been asked whats my dominant eye at all and I have been using right handed bows. Should I be using left handed?

    I'd say yes, use a lefty bow ... why fight eye dominance? Then again I'm a lefty and I shoot left-handed but I'm right eye dominant. I draw the bow with both eyes open and then close my right eye as I line up on the target. Try a lefty bow if you can and see how it suits you. :)

    Regards, James.

    It will take a while to get comfortable with left-handed kit but it will be quicker than you might think. Give it a while.
