If your bow is right handed you have to shoot it right handed... if you're looking for a bow you need to shoot with your dominate eye, not your dominate hand.

Yup what dukkillr said. I am left eye dominate and shoot right handed. The only thing you need to be aware of is if you use a peep, always close your left before the shot to ensure you are on target. Left eye dominate right hand shooters have a tendency to let the left eye take over thus causing the arrow to hit left. I have had this happen twice while on stand. Closing the left eye will allow your right eye to line up the peep correctly.
