Thread: Longbow practice

well Ross Im right handed and right eye dominant and its actually EASIER for me to use left handed bow.....I was using a ambidextris one with arrows on wrong side sucessfully untill got told doing it wrong.... HOLLYWOOD is responsible apparently...you see in movies like robinhood prince of thieves/braveheart and hobbit movies they using straight bow with arrow in right side...so eye lines up with arrow and target...good for camera but due to "archers paradox" its better on otherside...apparently.
I believe as a modern recurve has cut out in handle the arrow is NEARLY central anyway,like a compound so use bow however it suits you...I will pop out in back yard and see if I can poke holes in target using right handed bow right handed and use left eye only....back soon
