Left Hand Compound Bows – Essential Tips For Choosing You Compound Bow

Left Hand Compound Bows

Left Hand Compound Bows

If you try to determine whether you need a left hand compound bow or right hand compound bow you need to understand a few simple concepts.

To begin with a right-hand hunter should buy a right hand compound bow. Conversely, a left-handed archer should use a left hand compound bow. This is as simple as is. Some hunters get confused about this concept because they think that if they hold the bow in their left hand (all right-handed people do that) that means they need a left hand bow. This is a huge misunderstanding.

Having said that I need to add that it is very important to understand another concept when choosing your bow: your eye dominance. This is because some people don’t fall into the principle left hand bows for right-handed people and right hand bow for left-handed people. This is where eye dominance comes in.

Let’s put it this way – if your eye dominance is different to your hand dominance you are an exclusion from the above rule. That is why you need to understand what is your eye dominance and whether or not it matches your hand dominance. If your eye dominance is different to your hand dominance you may have a very bad experience shooting with the incorrect type of compound bow.

What you could also do before choosing the right type of bow is to pretend that you are shooting with one. Just close your left eye first and put your hands into the right position pretending you are about to shoot. How do you feel? Try to do the same closing another eye and change your hands position. What is the most comfortable position?

To summarize, there is a general rule about choosing the right bow type: if you are a right-handed person you should buy left hand compound bow, otherwise get the right hand one. Make sure you also check your eye dominance first to ensure you fall into this common rule.

Good luck with your next hunting/archery session!

Michael Jackson’s Glove

In May, 1983 Michael Jackson” performed probably his most memorable performance at the Motown 25th Anniversary Show. He sang “Billie Jean” and this was the beginning of his famous glove, on his left hand no less. In addition, he showed the world his moonwalk, of which I never mastered.

His glove became his signature trademark for the rest of his carrier. He did wear the glove on his right at times, but the debut was His Left Hand! Two of his gloves are currently up for auction and are rumored to bring six figures.

Michael’s talent and music will live forever. Although MJ was not left handed, we will never forget that he was a southpaw in his most famous performance of all time (kinda ;) )

The Battle of The Left Handed Electric Guitar

The first commercially advertised electric guitar was  made by the Stromberg-Voisinet company in 1928. It utilized a simple pickup, with vibrations being picked up from the soundboard. Since then, musicians have battled to be the best electric guitar player and left handed electric guitar players have continued to be at the top.

Rolling Stone magazine named southpaw Jimi Hendrix the greatest guitarist of all time. Growing up Hendrix had to restring guitars because there were no left handed guitars to be found. Hendrix taught himself to play. He played by ear and never learned to read music. Hendrix played at the legendary Woodstock concert in 1969 and sadly died at the age of 27 due to an overdose.

Another left handed guitar player at the time was in a group called the Beatles. Thats right (or left) Paul McCartney is a fellow southpaw. His talent and songs made him the first pop music billionaire. He has written 50 number one hits, more than any other songwriter in history. His song Yesterday has been played more times by radio stations worldwide than any other song. (The drummer for the Beatles, Ringo Starr, was also left handed).

There are many left handed electric guitar players famous and possibly soon to be famous. If you desire to become a legendary left handed electric guitar player and don’t know where to begin, go to the Guide To Buying Left Handed Guitars. This will not only help you find the perfect left handed guitar, but it also contains books, Youtube videos and much more information related to playing an electric guitar. Who knows, maybe I will be included a Youtube of you playing someday.

In Search Of A Left Handed Desk

When I went to school (back in  the stone age according to my children), the new school year was not in anticipation of seeing old freinds, but it was in search  of a left handed desk. The old standard school desk had an odd one sided shape designed specifically for right handed students. If I was really really lucky there would be a desk built the exact opposite for left handed students in the class room. Most of the time there was not one, but if there was it would be in the back of the room with school supplies stacked on it.

I don’t think teachers realized how difficult it was for lefties to write on a desk designed for righties. No wonder most left  handed people end up writing up side down or with their arm bent in some awkward shape. It is almost impossible to develop good penmanship habits on a right handed desk.

Fortunately today’s student desks are built to accommodate both right handed and left handed students. However, developing good writing habits for lefties can be difficult unless you follow some simple rules as explained in detail at LH Writing Skills. These techniques will help left handed writers of any age.

It’s funny though, today I find myself at garage sales and flea markets in search of a left handed desk. :)
