I would suggest heading to a pro shop like JimBows or Accurate Archery. Even if you don't buy a bow from 1 of these the locations, you will obtain lots of valuable information and maybe help you narrow down your search.

I have a diamond infinite edge for my son. I just really don't like the back wall it has, uses string stops, little spongy. My current bow uses limbstops which gives a solid back wall which I really like.

I’m LH/right eye. I draw my bow back LH with my right eye closed, acquire target open right eye and shoot with both eyes open.

Lots of us are like that on here. Go for a left handed bow and don't look back.
Go to a pro shop and try a few, you will know which one you want from that.

Well I've been shooting at jim bows in Edmonton a couple times and turns out shooting left was working better for me. What's out there for sale LH? Not looking to spend a fortune cause I'm just starting out.
