Modern Archery bows are usually designated as being either left or right handed. If you draw the string with your right hand, and the arrow lies on the left side of the bow, the bow is right handed, if you draw with the left hand, arrow on the right side of the bow, it is left handed. Some basic, traditional, bows, such as the English longbow, can be shot either left or right handed, modern recurved bows cannot be shot from the "wrong" hand due to the position of the arrow rest, and the cutout in the side of the bow. Normally, if you are right-handed, you need a right-handed bow, since you will usually draw with your right hand, left-handed people use their left hand.
