Can a left-eye dominate person accurately shoot a bow right-handed?

Question
Interested in learning how to bow hunt but I am right handed and left eye dominant. Most professionals that I ask recommend learning to shoot left handed because I am a new shooter, is it impossible or unethical to try shooting a bow right handed, or is there a good way to train your ocular dominance?
Clayton,
I’ve known a few folks that were left-eye dominate that could accurately shoot a bow right-handed. However, they are in the minority.
You’ll certainly have to close your left eye completely. Most folks are much better off to learn to shoot left-handed. It feels awkward at first, but many have succeeded! Whatever technique you use, make sure and practice and limit your shots to a distance that you are proficient!
Enjoy creation,
