Right-handed Archer

Characteristics:

  • Arrow rests on the left side of the bow (for recurve or longbow)
  • Dominant aiming eye is usually the right eye
  • Mirror image of a left-handed archer

Important:
In archery, the shooting side is primarily determined by the dominant eye, not by the writing hand.
