gnasher16 30,255 Posted May 9, 2014 Report Share Posted May 9, 2014 (edited) Stupid as it sounds......would a right handed person normally hold the pouch or the catty itself in the right hand ? Thats about the only thing i havent yet tried swapping hands Edited May 9, 2014 by gnasher16 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
youcanthide...BANG 1,051 Posted May 9, 2014 Report Share Posted May 9, 2014 If you close your eye to shoot you want to hold the catty in the opposite hand to what eyes open, e.g. if your right eye is open hold it in your left hand Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Ocset 91 Posted May 9, 2014 Report Share Posted May 9, 2014 You should hold your catty in your weaker hand. The same as a bow. The hand that does all the work and requires most control is the hand holding the pouch. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
.338winmag 78 Posted May 9, 2014 Report Share Posted May 9, 2014 Also if i might add yer should find your dominant eye ,an hold the catty in the opposite hand like if yer left eye dominant hold the catty in yer right etc ,just a suggestion though. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The hand that does all the work and requires most control is the hand holding the pouch. Actually that makes a lot of sense ... I hold my bow in my left hand even though I am right handed ... Right I will try the catty in my left hand tomorrow and see if that works better ........ Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I'm left eye dominant so I just close it. Some people who are right handed shoot perfectly well with the catty in their right hand. I think that it may give a novice an advantage if they hold the pouch in their dominant hand though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

If you're right handed and your left eye is dominant, like myself, then you will find it much harder to shoot a bow, or catapult, instinctively. How many people know how to test what eye is dominant?

I don't I presumed my right eye was dominant as that's the one I aim with ??? ...... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Seems natural to me if your right handed then to pull the cord with your right.What shoulder do you shoot of....I'm imagining right? I reckon this is why you can't hit anything.
