    Righthanders tend to shoot the bow with the left.

    The dominance of the eye is generally determined first. Lefties were forced to write right, and thus the eye-test is more solid.

    The dominant eye is closest to the arrows nock and is used to aim (either string/sight system or using the whole lenght of the arrow). When the right eye is dominant, the right hand needs to be on the string and the left is used to push the bow away. Left handed people having a dominant right eye need to shoot that way too.

    There are exceptions for everything though.

    RE/RH, but the left arm is a lot stronger. Right is used for coordination while left does the heavy job.

    Same here man, same here. Mainly cuz when I was younger I was uneven, in which my right arm was way stronger, but now my left is, mainly by choice.

    Righty here, neither particularly proud nor ashamed. My left is a little more agile when it comes to combing my hair, for what it's worth.

    I am left-handed, eating, writing, batting, throwing, and catching with my left hand. I blade left-handed, predominantly. Oddly, I shoot (pistols, rifles triggered, bows drawn) with my right hand.

    My right hand dexterity is developed from years of piano and keyboard study. It is far more able than my left when playing, which granted, isn't unusual.

    Right handed and that's the way I like it; even the little smilies are right handed ...although I could use a third hand from time to time.

    I'm right handed, but when playing football I can play with both legs
    Help?

    And I prefer doing certain things with my left hand ... like making an Archaeological profile (if that even minorly explains it)
