    I found last night that one should be able to shoot right or left handed. Normally I rest the bow on the shooting rail, angled back across my legs for quick moving to the right handed shooting position. Last night a nice buck came bouncing across my shooting area out to my right about 35 yds. My bow was in the wrong position for any kind of shot unless he stood there for several seconds, which he didn't. Only slowed for a couple steps and he was off again keeping trees and under brush between us. Never looked my direction, only straight ahead. Never expected anything to come from that area as it in down into a draw where the trail leads away to my right to where it crosses the dirt road. I need to sharpen up my left hand shooting position now.

    Not really hard to do ! I have done it twice, although it was short range on both !

    I agree, don't think it would be that hard to do. I can shot a .22 semi auto left handed but never really thought about doing that with a Xbow.
