What type of bow does everyone shoot?

[Roundman]

Dang, that's cool.      Or did she just let you buy it ? 

She and a friend set me up and figured out all the right specs. She comes home and tells me that the trunk will not open. I go out to the garage and BAM there it is. I had no Idea plus she knew I would never buy it on my own.

I shoot a Martin that I've had for a lot of years.  74lb peak weight, no sights, three fingers under the arrow but sometimes use a release.  Every once in a while I get lucky with that set up and hit something.

I have a challenge I will need to conclude on..... Back in the stone age when I learned to shoot, there were no sights, no compounds, the arrow rest was the top of your hand..... anyway, I learned to shoot right handed, but I'm left eye dominant. Was not really a problem with instinctive shooting, but a big problem when you try to use sights the way they are meant to be used. I have a less than optimal work around by covering my left eye when I shoot, but as I consider buying a new rig I am torn between getting a left handed one and trying to get comfortable relearning my mechanics ..... or stick with right handed 

Any thoughts?

I have used a PSE baby G for the past 4 years.  It has worked very well for me in Arizona and in Alaska.

Stu, I'm another one blessed with this. I just close my left eye when I shoot. Not really a big deal to me. Some people are pretty good about being ambidextrous, I'm definitely not one that has that ability.    I guess my opinion is just to close your eye. I don't feel it has handicapped me at all.

Yeah it's a huge difference, especially if you're used to shooting traditional style. Might even feel a bit awkward. 
I looked up the Assenheimer bows, good lookin bow. I couldn't find a Kohanna site. What poundage ya pullin on your bows?
