What hand should be your bow hand if you are right eyed dominate?

Yes, it does make a difference. When an archer is right-eye dominant and shooting right-handed (or left-handed/left-eye), the arrow sits under (or almost under) the dominant, or "aiming", eye; the arrow is often used in aiming, especially in "instinctive" shooting, i.e., without the aid of sights. Being left-eye dominant while shooting right-handed (or right-eye/left-handed) moves the "aiming" eye to the extreme side of the arrow, affecting accuracy. The only way to counter-act the affect of using the "wrong" eye for aiming is to close the dominant eye and force the non-dominant eye to take over; this is not really an option when shooting "instinctively", because both eyes are needed for depth-perception.
Cross-dominance (left-eye/right-hand or right-eye/left-hand) is not such a problem when using sights, but it can be.
The best way to solve the problem is for the cross-dominant archer to re-train her/himself to shoot with the "wrong" hand. If right-handed, learn to shoot left-handed; if left-handed, learn to shoot right-handed. it may be awkward at first, but the rewards in increased accuracy are worth it.

How do lefty's use the M16?
First, you determine whether you are right-eyed or left eyed. (Make an OK circle with thumb and index finger and look at someone through it . . . if they see your right eye through your finger circle, then you are right-eyed, if not, left-eyed. This may not agree with your handedness.) If the lefty is right-eyed, no problem, just shoot right-handed. If the lefty is left-eyed . . . there is a problem in that they will have to shoot right-handed with the non-dominant eye. That could be OK, as the left hand will be steadying and aiming the rifle while the right hand simply squeezes the trigger.
