Im lefthanded and it doesnt really effect the cost, it just makes things harder to find sometimes.

as far as cost: wowthats tuff. It all depends on the stuff you want to buy. Your entry level might be different then other peoples entry level. You can get some good bow packages around $500. It depends on what you want. My set up cost well over a $1200 and that might realistic for some guys entry level but not others.
