Most of my bows have arrow shelves/windows cut in to them. So to shoot left handed the arrows are way over spined. How ever I was reading a book on Japanese archery and saw that they shoot with the arrow on the right side of the bow (right handed shooter) with a thumb loose. So I used the thumb loose that I saw in that book but reversed it for left hand so it would work with my western right handed bows.
Thats bought clear as mud ;)
I figured this out about 25 years and many books ago, and I'm sure a Kyudo master would beat me with a stick for my sorry interpretation of there loose, bot it works for me.

I get what you are saying. It is shooting with the left hand that I have a problem with. ;)   Pat
