Has anyone "switched sides"?

[actionshooter]

   I have had an increasing problem with my eyesight, very similar to astigmatism but with a small dose of double vision and cannot be corrected per my optometrist.

 I'm right handed and shoot everything "right side" though iron sights are now almost out of the question at any real distance. Washington allowing red dots for muzzy was a huge help and I have become extremely proficient with a handgun using my dominant left eye. 

I think it's time to try lefty with a bow.... Has anyone switched sides with archery and what issues have you run into besides the cost of replacing everything?

I did that very same thing.  Right for everything except bow and I shoot pistol right handed but use my left eye like you do.

For new equipment, no big deal.  I bought a used bow, so the selection was far less but I found what I wanted at a good price.

The rest was just practice and reps.  One off season and I was shooting better than righty.

One good thing is that if you use a wrist release, it is much more convenient hunting where I put it on when I wake up and take it off at sunset.  Being right handed, it's not a big deal to have it dangling on my non-dominant hand all day.

The other good thing is that my left hand isn't mentally associated with pulling a trigger so I feel I have far less problems with trigger slap or any of the potential issues with using your dominant hand.  This could be 100% mental, but I think it's real and I've never had any trigger pull issues knock on wood.

I can't think of many negatives except a minor one where your bow is in your right hand so I also use my rangefinder on my left.  It still gets a bit awkard but nowhere near enough to come close to the benefits.

Being able to see is 1500X more beneficial than using your correct hand in my opinion.
