Ok first of all I know nothing about bows! That being said my daughter wants to join the archery team at school, she has tried out a few bows and has determined she needs a left-handed bow. They only allow one brand at school and its somewhat pricy so she has asked for Christmas I found one on Wal-Mart.com but it doesn't specify what hand even when you try to order. So my question is if ordering online how do you know which is which?

Is she left handed or right handed? Is she left eye dominant or right eye dominant? I think you need to talk to the archery team coach and be guided by what they say. Right handed people shoot right handed bows unless they are left eye dominant, to try to shoot a left handed bow when right eye dominant would be a problem and not make for a good archer. Let the coach test her and go by what he or she says.

The arrow rest will be on the left side of a right-handed bow. The arrow rest is on the right side of a left-handed bow.
