THE IMAGE ABOVE IS A PAID ADVERTISEMENT I have an issue though. She is right handed, yet, left eye dominant.  Now with a recurve, not as bad, she can adjust but when she gets older and starts to use a compound with peep sights, that will be an issue. Anyone else have this issue?? |

It's quite common.
I am that way, and just always shot with my right eye. Your brain learns. |

Same thing with my Daughter. Took her to Cabelas to get her bow. They spent 2 hours with her getting it set up right and working with her as how to sight it correctly. I spent a ton of cash that day and the salesman wouldn't even let me buy him lunch. Well worth the trip!

Both my daughters and my wife are RH but left eye dominant. I taught all of them to shoot southpaw. It's working out well.
