Hi folks,
I am a bit curious about a genetical speciality of archers in the USA and Canada
In my own archery group which I coach, I regularly encounter beginners who I thoroughly examine whether their eyes are right or left dominant. After that those beginners start their lessons with a right or lefthanded bow. In about 2-3 of 100 later a switch becomes necessary because they weren't really one-eye-dominant but even and they might simply cope better after switching due to better manual ability of the right hand or so.
My experience concerning the relation of Rh to LH shooters, which I often have discussed with other trainers and got the same numbers, is 1/3 left and 2/3 right dominant people. Perhaps a relation 1/4 left to 3/4 right, but not more apart.
I would have expected, that this relation also fits to sales numbers of risers.
Isn't that logical?
It fits, when I look at sales in Europe.
It doesn't fit at all when I look at the sales in the USA!
You US-archers only buy righthanded risers. No single left riser left Germany with destination USA.
Miracle? Genetical effects
?
Where are the 30% potential customers with left eye dominance?
Is the Tradtalk website equipped with secret code that displays certain content to right dominant eyes, only?
Questions over questions...
