The decision whether you need a right-handed- or a left-handed bow
The first thing you have to know of this question is that you hold a right-handed bow in your left hand and draw the string with the right hand. You take aim with you right aim in this case. The left handled bow is the other way around.
It is possible to train your arms to right or to left. But it is not possible to train the eyes.
If your left eye is dominant and you shoot with your right you have to close your left one, because the information of the left eye destroys the picture.
If you aim your target with your left eye and it is dominant you could leave out the wrong seeing information in your brain. With some practise you could just leave it open while shooting. Shooting is going to be more relaxed this way.
And this is exactly the reason why you should keep you bow, because of your dominant eye.
… But which on is now the dominate one?
It is very simple. It is the eye you ever used to be dominated. For example when you look through a camera to make a picture or when you look through a key hole and so on.
This is another way of getting to know it:
You take your hands and form a triangle. After you doing it you search for a small target, for example a light switch. You have to look through the triangle to the small target and close your eyes one after the other. The other on is of course open. Just close one eye a time. When you close one eye and the target stays in the triangle, the open eye is the dominate one.
