I'm right handed, does this mean I buy a right hand bow or left?

Everyone has given you the wrong answer so far. Actually, not wrong, just incomplete. Part everyone got correct so far: With a right handed bow you pull the string with you right hand.Other part: to decide which hand you want to pull the string with you need to find out which is your dominant eye. Most people (about 2/3) are right eye dominant. There are some people who are left eye dominant but right handed. Some of these people choose to shoot right handed but many archery coaches recommend that if you are left eye dominant then you should shoot left handed because your aim is more important than your arm strength.

Yes right handed bow. You will hold bow in your left hand and draw with the right.

"Handedness" in the industry is done off of eye dominance, not hand dominance. What this means, is that a right-handed bow would have the riser held with your left, and drawn with your right.

LH/RH is which hand draws the string. If you're unsure which hand you want to be using (regardless of your eye/hand dominance) I'd suggest finding a bow to get a feel for it [hunting/fishing shop maybe] before ordering. I'm both right eye dominant and right-handed, yet the LH was right for me.

This is a right hand bow. Really the only ambidextrous bow you could get is a long bow type.

Yes it is a right handed bow, Martin makes both right and left handed versions. The two reviewers were most likely sent the wrong product by either miss labeled product or by human error. If this happens just contact the seller and have them exchange it. Hope this helps and happy shooting!

By default, it's for right-handed users. There may be southpaw version floating around somewhere but the one I bought came right-handed.

My son is left handed and has no problem using it. He just had to try out his sister's Heartbreaker bow.

If you hold the bow in your left hand and the arrow with the right hand, then you need a right handed bow. Yes this is a right handed bow.

This is for a righty. Look specifically for a lefty bow if you need a left handed bow. Amazon does not specifically carry this bow for left's

I'm not sure about the left handed shooting. The site/arrow on the bow broke the first day my super excited son tried out his new bow. After multiple attempts by my handy husband to fix it we gave up on the bow. Looking at other reviews it looks like others have had the same problem. Do not buy this bow.

I am right handed and this bow works great. I hold the bow with my left hand and draw the string with right hand.

No it's not a dumb question and yes it is for right handed players. Left handed guitars are always labeled as such.

the arrow rest is on the left hand side of the bow when held in your left hand so is a right handed bow to be held in the left hand and drawn with the right if was a left hand bow would be on the right

Just bought this and the box says right handed. ------------- A right handed bow is shot by holding the bow with your left hand and pulling it back with your right (Fig #1), while a left handed bow is shot by holding the bow with your right hand and pulling it back with your left.
