View Full Version : To the dark side I go!!!!!
firechic 10-10-2008, 01:35 PM I'm going left handed!!!!
Bought an '08 Bowtech Equalizer.
Decided to go left handed because I'm left eye dominant. Pulling 40lbs and not doing too bad at it. I'm having to build up my stamina though.
Here's a pic of me shooting Left handed... and a pic of me shooting right handed....
I think the form's good...so what do you guys think?
your form looks good with the new bow. why are you extending the fingers on your left hand though? you didnt do that righthanded.....:biggrin1:
you can also see less tension in your face from not having to squint you left eye closed.
I made the switch to left handed a few years ago too and I shoot better now than I ever did right handed. I think you'll be happy with the results.
firechic 10-10-2008, 01:45 PM My fingers are still relaxed on my right hand when I'm shooting. I think they look extended because I haven't quite found the comfortable spot yet. I'm still trying to get consistant.
J.C...... you and I can be on the dark side together! :hug:
CutTheLoop 10-10-2008, 01:47 PM Looks like a good decision.
Face looks 100% more relaxed in the lefty photo. :thumb:

Gator eye 10-10-2008, 02:31 PM Made the switch to lefty two years ago and never looked back..you'll be glad you did.
nice form by the way...:cool:
firechic 10-10-2008, 02:40 PM a wrist strap release? :noidea:
I left my instatiable in the hunting gear. so the wrist strap was all that I had at the time.
jcmorgan31 10-10-2008, 02:57 PM The first thing I noticed was your facial expression. You look much more relaxed left handed... :thumb:
At first I thought you were switching to Mathews as they were the original "dark side"........then I thought you were referring to the switch to Bowtech as some of the bowtechies like to use that term to irritate mathews nation.....then you mentioned going southpaw....which I never thought of as the dark side. I a little confused now.....:doh: :laugh: :laugh:
BowhuntnHoosier 10-10-2008, 03:51 PM You look much more relaxed and confident shooting lefty. Good luck firechic. But Darkside is definately Mathews.:peace:
jcmorgan31 10-10-2008, 03:52 PM You look much more relaxed and confident shooting lefty. Good luck firechic. But Darkside is definately Mathews.:peace:
I think Mathews has offically been renamed "The Backside"..... :laugh: :laugh:

Nice deer wife of walks with a gimp. :peace: :biggrin1:
1DevineShooter 10-14-2008, 01:50 PM Viva los lefties! I'm left handed, but I always played all my sports right handed, so I thought I would "play" archery right handed as well. This was before I understood the eye dominate thing. I was ok shooting right handed, but when I switched to left, my groups REALLY tightened up. Welcome aboard!
Hoyt_563 10-14-2008, 02:26 PM form looks good!
firechic 10-15-2008, 04:24 PM My wife sure likes her Equalizer!

hstubblefield 10-16-2008, 10:15 PM form is good about the same as the right side but the elbow height is a little higher with the left hand might be draw lenght
