Girls....

[eweisner]

I knew it was going to happen sooner or later. One of the girls in my youth group has a bow. Sort of. It's a Barnett Banshee. She's been complaining she can't hit anything. She brought it over to the house and I wasn't there. My son was and tried to help her.

They're friends and we were over for dinner tonight. We got it out and I shot it a few times. Turned it over to her. It's right handed. She grabbed it left handed. Doing all sorts of things wrong but what jumped out at me was the right handed bow shot left handed.

To top it off a guy at church today stopped me and we were talking and he tells me I have a bow for you. I had planned on giving it to this girl. Now I'm not sure. Do I let her keep shooting like she is or do we look for a LH bow.

And to boot, my step-daughter wants to bow hunt, and she's LH as well....What have I gotten myself in to?

If she is left-handed and left-eye dominate it will be a struggle for her to shoot RH....in other words get the LH bow.

 

[stik]

get them left-handed bows.

 

[Hoss]

Get the LH bow if she is left Eye dominant. She may be Right eyed dominant and shooting left handed because she doesn't know any better.
Check her eye dominance.

My daughter is a no brainer, she's all girl and all left handed. The other is right handed and left eye dominant. We're at a crossroads, but I would like to stick with her natural instinct.

 

[TNDeerGuy]

get her a left-handed bow if that is what her dominate eye is....shooting with the non-dominate eye is problematic, especially for an inexperienced archer.
