Im confused about lefty and right ok i hold the bow with my left hand and draw with my right. So this means im a right hand? Also How can i tell if a bow is a righty or a lefty? Do i tell by where the arrow rest is?

@xPIVOTxMANx Your exactly right. its determined by the arrow rest. if the rest is on the RIGHT side it is a left handed bow, conversely, if its on the LEFT side its a right handed bow. Sometimes as well if you look at the grip you can notice that it will fit better into your palm as well.

@Thetruthishere11 I like leaving them there so they can publicly display their ignorance and lack of common sense. It is rather amazing how stupid some people can be but C'est la vie. I Love hutning and thats all that matters. Thanks for the comment broski

iv seen nearly every damn archery video made by professionals on youtube, and this is by far the most helpful one, i salute you lol if its possible, can you make a video on how to adjust draw weight (i think its called) as i have just bought a bow but dont have the money for lessons

My compound has 4 optical extrusions this applys to those as well i presume? Im new to archery and got a "Bear coumpound bow" (i have no idea what model) but this video helped me out alot. Thanks for the vid.

whats the difference between a carbon arrow and a aluminum arrow? i have both but i don't really see a difference? which ones are better? and why?

@574bender A good starting point is to use a straight stick. Hold both arms out in front of you at shoulder height then use the stick to measure from the indent just under your Adam's Apple to the tip of your middle fingers. (Easier with a mate who can mark the stick.) This is approx. the arrow length matched to your body, and the draw length on a compound is about 1.5 inches less as they're typically held with a slightly unlocked elbow. Try at a shop before you spend too much!
