When it says left hand/right hand is it referring to the hand holding the bow?

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.

No.. If you are right handed then you will pull the bow string with you right hand, and hold the bow with your left.So when it says right hand it means that you hold the bow with the left hand to pull the sting with your right.

Partially, it's referring to your hand dominance. A left handed shooter means the archer would grasp the bow w/their right hand while drawing the arrow using their left hand. The opposite applies to a right handed shooter.

No it's not an ambidexterous bow. You can order a left handed setup or right handed setup

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

The lh means left hand. the rh stands for right hand. this means you can shoot the bow from either hand by resting the arrow on the right or left side of the bow. I purchased this bow for my 5yr old grandson thinking he would be able to work into pulling a 20 pound bow. Slowly he is getting the strength he needs. Its all in the practice time one is willing to put in.

I bought my Takedown Bow because in all the descriptions I found across the internet it said 'right handed only'. I can't speak for those individuals who have adapted it to left handed use and choose to share that information.

Then you have a right handed bow so you need the right handed sight. Love this sight.

Traditionally RH bows are to be gripped in the left hand and pulled and released with the right hand. The Crosby bow that I have is made to be held in the left hand and pulled with the right hand.

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!

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.

Yes it is. Not sure if anyone makes a bow with left draw/right eye or vise versa. Good bow for the money. Same thing as a bowtech without the bowtech price and it's a single cam instead of dual cam just fyi.

Jess I bought my AMS Retriever a while ago and really like it. I have a right hand bow so I bought the right hand retriever. To answer your question directly, it is right handed retrieve on a right handed bow or left handed on left handed bow, no other options I believe. I retrieve left handed for fishing reels but with the right handed retrieve on the retriever reel it feels natural. I think if you bought left handed reel it wouldn't be mountable on a right handed bow.

Hi Stephanie, this bow is right-handed, however here is a link that leads to a listing here on amazon, that shows the option to order a left handed bow. I hope that helps you : ) Happy Holidays! http://www.amazon.com/Genesis-Bow-Left-Handed-Orange/dp/B001HZBCEU/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1355867892&sr=8-4&keywords=genesis+original+bow+left+handed

My daughter is 13 years old and is left-handed. I just asked her and apparently she shoots with her right hand. However, she states that the bow is ambidextrous. She also states that her other 13 year old friends have a hard time pulling it back. Not sure if this helps at all.

I'm an adult and left handed and haven't had a problem. My daughter is 6 and is right handed. Either way is fine... It isn't "handed." You can use either hand to hold or draw the bow back.

You would be right handed shooting this way. Your strong arm (arm you pull the string with or for example, throw a ball with) indicates whether you would be considered right handed or left handed.

I believe in the description, the orientation is for the throwing hand. So if you throw with your left, then order left hand orientation. It is confusing.

A right handed bow is held with the left hand and the arrow is pulled with the right.
