I have a question. The main string used for throwing the arrows is located to the left of the two propelling strings.

The one I purchased was right-handed. Also, it's a little too hard for my 6 year old son to pull back, so be sure the child is able to pull back every bit of 18 lbs of pressure!

Shooting a bow Right handed will have the propelling string on the left side. The arrow sits on the left side of the bow as you draw it back with your right hand to shoot; the string has a tendency to twist away from the shooter slightly. Setting the arrow on the left side of the bow keeps the arrow from drifting away from the bow when you are preparing to let go of the string to shoot.

I think left-handed users will like it. I'm righty but switch hands with it - it's NOT lightweight. Not heavy either I'd say, but 20 mins. is a lot to hold it in one hand. If you look at the 3rd photo on the Amazon listing, you'll see the "model" is using the trimmer left-handed. It changes how you'll approach what you 're cutting. Look at the pic and you can imagine how holding it right-handed would change the orientation. How the string guard mounts causes this.There is an ambidextrous thumb-operated safety, and the head swivels either way. The 2nd photo shows the trimmer as an edger - left-handed too.

you can not adjust for a left handed shooter because of the contour of the bow. It's designed for a right handed shooter. Should be able to look up left handed bows

I think (but don't know for sure) that you can switch the strings to be left-handed and not worry about the bridge (the wooden bridge near the bottom end). I have been playing mine without widening any of the grooves in the bridge. Two of the strings go down into the groove and two strings are perched on top of the groove. As long as it is in tune, I don't think it matters. But, I think you should take it to a guitar store and ask the people there, just to be sure.

It was used by a right hander, but the description says "Bow features an ambidextrous reinforced handle and soft-touch grip for excellent handling". The provided answers seem ambivalent; I would check directly with Barnett for certainty.

I am right handed but I believe that if you are left handed you can install the strings to accommodate a left handed person, this guitar will work for both.the lowest note goes first at the top and the highest note goes at the bottom, the sequence you install the strings is the only difference.

This reel is what is commonly referred to as a Left handed reel!!! The reel is "handed" by which ever side the handle is on when in position on the rod It is becoming more and more popular with people who are Right handed, as are well over 95% of the country. for the ability to keep the rod in your master hand the entire time you are fishing, and not have to cast, then change hands to reel, , then change hands to cast again!!! people have becum used to cranking with their left hand because of the popularity of open-faced spinning reels, which basically all come with the handle on the left side, thou the great majority, if not all, have the ability to easily change the handle from one side to the other!!! Best of luck, and Make sure you leave a few for me!!! Regards, Jim

You know, on the surface, it seems like a stupid question but perhaps not. Right handed means pulling the string with your right hand.

Following is a link to a video explaining right and left bows. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B4pHS_4EU7g Generally a bow is listed as Right hand or Left hand, so I am not sure what "right grip" would mean. Right handed people would hold/grip a bow in their left hand so that they can pull the arrow back with their right hand. The arrow would be placed on the nock, L shaped area, on the right side of the bow.

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.

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

To be perfectly honest I don't know what makes it left or right handed. I write and shoot most pistols and rifles with my left hand. I hold this bow with my left hand. I hope that answers your .

I am not sure what you are asking. But, this is a right hand bow. Flipping it over simply wont work. You can shoot it left handed. but I suggest you purchase a left hand bow.

the bow I have received must be hold with left hand; so arrow with right hand. I hope it helps

I just received a left handed bow. One that's held in the right and drawn back with the left. Hoping it was a mistake. Great bow!

Dear Rachel, this bow is meant especially for right handed archers. Hope i helped :D

you actually release the string as you can see the handle is connected to the string and the handle has an end that shoots the nerf arrow! I have to say that a lot of bows we've used didn't shoot but this one actually shoot and have some range but is very safe and doesn't hurt at all. I've had my son shoot me at close range and it doesn't hurt...extremely fun! I shoot the kids sometimes when they don't expect it with the bow nerf...they run! LOL!
