Dave realy he would be better with Right Hand Bow,Find one 50 pound Draw,shoot Instinctive,with Release.

I'm left eye Dominant with practice I do just fine.Think about it this way I am right handed I throw with my right hand,shooting a Bow Instinctive is the same principle.If you try getting him to shoot a Left hand Bow it will be so much harder on him.Plus if you ever want to sell the Bow it will be harder to sell.

Just my .02

you could try a patch over his dominant eye for a while.

a lot of shotgunners do that.

My 15 year old son is also right handed/left eye dominant. As Red Label suggested, a patch over the left eye will help him through the problems he is having. From a very early age, I patched my son's left eye while he shot an air rifle.......he no longer has problems shooting.

One more suggestion, if he uses a peep sight in the string and closes his left eye to shoot, he shouldn't have any problem with a right hand compound.
