bbruceFriend lost eye
Guy's a good friend of mine had a stroke and lost the sight in his right eye. He still wants to bow hunt is there any sights out there that could let him shoot right handed and use his left eye? Thanks BB
Shooters who are cross dominant have been found to to better shooting to the dominant eye side .It's easier to train the hand than the eye. In the past they made weird 'dog leg' stocks for rifles so you could shoot right handed and left eyed.

2 dogsit takes a lot more practice but he could shoot instinctive.i learned it a will never go back to a peep and sights.less shit to go wrong and longer shooting light.
I have seen guys at 3d shoots, using the left eye as a right handed shooter. They had to do some custom machining to their sights, but it seemed to work very well for them.

TheBigGuyYou can setup a Timberline No-Peep to work with the opposite eye.
He then can keep using his existing pin sights. He'll just have to adjust the windage some.
My brothers first bow sight way back when was a zero magnification optical sight (modern incarnation of a bazooka sight). Wacky sight that got changed rather soon afterwards but admittedly was a workable sight. Just another opinion for your friend to consider.
