I had the same problem when I started looking for a new bow over three years ago. I would check the local stores along with the retail stores to see if the had LH bows to at least get a feel on holding them. Anytime I would see a LH model I always would hold pick it up to see how it felt and I still do this today. Finally two years ago I was in Cabelas in Kansas City while on a turkey hunt and they had a LH Diamond Black Ice. I was able to get a really good feel for it. I didn't get to shoot it but was able to draw it back at the store. Once I did I knew it was the bow that I wanted to get. It took almost two full years to finally decide because of the same issues you are having now. Once I did decide that was the bow that I wanted, I went to a local store that could order it and ordered it with them.
