Since all of the RS avatars are right handed, holding the bow with your left hand IS CORRECT Wrong, sort of. Bow holding is determined by eye dominance. the sight on the bow needs to be lined up with the dominate eye. in order for that to happen, the bow needs to be held in the opposite hand so that when the string is pulled back to the other side of the face, it provides a backsight to be lined up with the front sight. the majority of the population is right-eyed dominate, therefore making bows held in the left hand more popular.
