I picked up a bow for the first time in 2001. It was a RH bow and I am LH but shoot firearms both L&R so what the heck. Wasn't happy with the grouping of the arrows RH so I sold it and purchased a LH bow in 2003. Shots were good so started hunting that fall. I was introduced to hunting when I was 7 with firesticks. Now only use them for yotes.
