Hand and eye coordination is the key ability for most activities and the same applies to archery. The same principle applies to bows; one should not use a right-handed bow if they are left-handed. When one is right handed, they should not use a left hand bow as this will result in a clumsy and uncoordinated shot.

Though the vast majority of the worlds population is dominated by right-handed people, resulting to manufacturers creating products, which are mostly meant for right-handed people; there are still the left-handed population, which has the same ability as those of the right handed. That is why there are also products, which are specified for left handed people.

Identifying a left hand bow from a right hand hunting bow is fairly simple. The dominant hand is not actually what determines the bow of choice but the dominant eye, as this plays a vital role in influencing an archers accuracy and overall handling.

Though at first glance, both the right hand bow and the left hand hunting bows look similar, there are some small differences, which determine the actual purpose of the bow. The left hand hunting bow is held by the right hand while the left hand draws the string and the left eye is at focus; the central risers arrow rest is also found at the left portion of the bow. On the other hand, the right hand hunting bow is held by the archers left hand while the right eye focuses and the right hand draws the string; the arrow rest is also instantly found at the right hand side of the riser.

Apart from the aforementioned, there are no other visible differences between the right hand and the left hand hunting bows. In this day and age, there are even hunting bows, which are interchangeable for use of either the right- or the left-hand orientation. However, for those who have cross dominant eyes, meaning that their eyes are equally dominant, they can simply choose a bow, which they are most comfortable with; and simply weigh it on the strength and stability of their arms as to which has the greater pulling power and which has the better grip.

There is also what is called people with cross dominant eyes. These are people who can interchangeably focus their eyes without compromising the quality of their aim and accuracy. For these people, the bow of choice will no longer rely on their hand or eye dominance, as they have the capacity to do both; for them, the bow of choice will be determined by how comfortable the bow is, as well as the factor of which hand can grip better. The bottom line for any eye or hand orientation is the simple fact of how one will handle their bows. The measurement will play a vital role in their performance, which is why a specific size and length proportionate to their size is advised. Practice and experience will be their mentor and will eventually have the comfort and confidence in their chosen bow.
