Lefty-Righty
Muskyman:
Going to make a bow for a friend and he’s a lefty. I can’t really pull a bow as heavy as he wants left handed to see how it shoots, I tried it with one I made a while back. How might I check it to see if the arrows fly okay out of it. I’m surprising him with it so I can’t just get him to shoot it and I really don’t know anyone who could shoot it for me. It’s going to be about 55 lb draw and I can’t pull it back to full draw left handed. Any thoughts on this. I’m hoping to get it shooting good before I give it to him. Would shooting it right handed like I shoot be okay or is there some other way I can get it dialed in?

OP, you could shoot it right handed with a thumb ring, but that may be more effort to learn than you want for one bow.

If your friend is really interested in primitive archery, he should be interested in the mechanics of arrow selection and tuning. Let him be a part of the process.

I would just shoot it right handed and find an arrow that’s. Lose to what he would need. He will shoot differently than you anyway and will possibly need a slightly different tuned arrow anyway. If the string lines up through the center of the handle and arrow pass, it won’t make much difference if the arrow is shot off the left or right side of the bow anyway.
