What part of the hand does a beginner archery shooter grind into, and how should a right-handed person with a dominant left eye hold the bow?

Beginners in archery are generally prone to hitting their arms, especially if they are Mediterranean style, which can be avoided by adjusting the stance of the arm holding the bow, or can be overcome by wearing an arm guard. If the bow is a traditional bow without an arrow platform, it is possible to be scratched by the arrow feather where the bow holder is resting the arrow. To avoid this, when resting the arrow, the arrow tail should be slightly higher than the vertical bowstring position by one centimeter or so, which can avoid scratches on the hand, and can also be overcome by wearing a glove or a two-finger finger protector in the bow holder's hand.

Right-handed people with left-eye dominance are advised to still try to consider using a left-handed bow, or to prioritize their eyes, especially if they use compound bows, modern recurve bows, and these bows with sights. Of course, if you are not a professional and don't rely on it for food anyway, there is no harm in wanting to prioritize your right hand, you can shoot just as well.
