Yeah, they do. Did you shoot it left or 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.
My opinions and comments are my own. They do not reflect the position or political opinions of Aldeer or any of the Aldeer administration.

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 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.
For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the LORD.

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.
I've spent most of the money I've made in my lifetime on hunting and fishing. The rest I just wasted.....
