I shot a friends left handed bow today and really couldn’t tell a difference. Just wondering if they actually make a difference

Yeah, they do. Did you shoot it left or right handed?

Right handed

I think with most modern compound bows it really wouldn't make a big difference. But if you tried to shoot a left hand trad bow you'd probably have a serious handicap.

I shoot both RH/LH in compound and traditional bows.

There’s a learning curve for sure but think anyone could do the sane if they put their mind to it.

I have a dual shelf Bear kodiak recurve and it’s pretty cool to shoot same bow both ways however it’s best to stick to either RH or LH imo.

I am left eye dominant but taught myself to shoot a bow right handed because of lack of LH options when I was a kid. I've tried to go traditional a couple of times and never can get even close to a decent group. I wonder If I'd do better with a lefty recurve.

I shoot left handed. But I have shot Other peoples right handed bows left handed. It don't feel right to me. But I think it has to do with what ever you feel comfortable with. Most archers like the arrow over their first finger knuckle but some like it over the thumb knuckle. I can see a compound bow being the same way.

I have dealt with this personally, With trad gear shooting with both eyes open eye Dominance didn’t play into it as much as with a compound.

There’s several videos on YouTube discussing it, I am shooting a RH recurve at the moment been shooting a LH for several years , getting the same groups with each.

I couldn't hit the living room wall while standing center of the living room shooting left hand with a trad bow.

That’s because you suck, old man.
