How do you determine what "handed" bow to get? I'm wanting to get one for next season and go bow hunting with my son. Help.
Later,
Dave

Dave, is the bow for you, or your son?
243 and Bigtyme are right. If you're right handed, and right eye dominant, you want to get a bow that you hold with the left hand, and draw the string with your right. And it may seem backwards, but the arrow rest and arrow will be on the left side of the bow directly above your left hand.
Reverse everything for left handed.

The bow will be for me. I'm left hand, but right eye dominant.
Later,
Dave

Well, there's two things you can do. Shoot it left handed and just make sure you keep your dominant eye closed or covered while shooting, or shoot right handed. Being as you've never shot before, that would be the easiest to do.
I have a friend that was involved in a fire several years ago and was severely burned over most of his body. He still has to have pins in the end of his fingers to hold them together. And that was on his shooting hand. Well, after physical therapy to just do normal things, he picked up his bow again and realized he couldn't shoot right handed any more. So he switched. After two years of practicing, he won the open division NFAA Indoor National Championship.
Anything is possible!
