Nope, as I said earlier it depends on who makes the bow. Pip Bickerstaffe's bows do not have the sting dead centre. For a right handed bow the string will lie slightly to the left of centre, which gives better arrow clearance. So you need to know how the bow was made before you can decide if it can be shot "wong" handed
