Have been shooting a second hand Bickerstaff which looks much like your standard longbow (is G091104 the manufacture date?) it broke sadly. the bow details were 45 at 28 max draw 29. my draw is 29 and I would like to to be at 50lb would 45 at 28 give me that? or should I go a little higher? also betraying my ignorance I am right handed does that mean I need a “right handed” bow? it pays to get these things right!
Bow handedness is not the hand that you hold it in but the actioning hand that will draw the string, hold the arrow. Any pass plate being on the opposite side of the bow. As you can imagine this really matters with a bow that has a riser, grip or shelf.
You and me are both Right handed people (write with RH) so we need a right-handed bow. (eye dominance etc aside).
