Left Hand Hunting Bows-Differences With Regular Bows
Archery is no different from other activities, which involve a proper hand and eye coordination. The same principle applies to bows; one should not use a right-handed bow if they are left-handed. This can be similarly compared to writing with one's left hand when they are in fact right handed; thus resulting in an illegible handwriting and incoherent movement.
Though the vast majority of the world's population is dominated by right-handed people, resulting to manufacturers creating products, which are mostly meant for right-handed people; there are still the left-handed population, which has the same ability as those of the right handed. That is why there are also products, which are specified for left handed people.
It is fairly easy to identify a right hand or a regular bow from that of a left hand bow. Though contrary to common belief that the hand is what determines the bow, it is actually the dominant eye, which influences the handling and accuracy of the archer.
The right hand hunting bow is held by the left hand and drawn by the right; the riser's arrow stabilizer or the arrow rest is also located on the right portion of the bow. However, the left hand hunting bow is held by one's right hand and drawn by the left while the arrow's stabilizer or the arrow rest is also located on the left side of the riser.
Apart from the aforementioned, there are no other visible differences between the right hand and the left hand hunting bows. In this day and age, there are even hunting bows, which are interchangeable for use of either the right- or the left-hand orientation. However, for those who have cross dominant eyes, meaning that their eyes are equally dominant, they can simply choose a bow, which they are most comfortable with; and simply weigh it on the strength and stability of their arms as to which has the greater pulling power and which has the better grip.
In the end, it will all come down to how one uses the bow. There are a number of hunting bows available for both the right- and left-hand orientations. What is important is for one to be able to obtain the proper bow, which is proportionate to their bodies as this will ensure the efficiency of the usage of the actual bow. Regardless of their hand or eye dominance or orientation, with enough practice and experience, one will get used to their comfortable side of the bow.
