What if a left-handed guy made a string for a right-handed guy's D-tillered selfbow which was then flipped over because it shot better upside down?    :D    :D    :D

This is from my wife, if you are left handed (which she is) then left handed people are the only people in their right minds lol. So she says lol.......

Bless you rastaman! Why that did not surface in my search is beyond me. Now I have bookmarked it and copied and pasted it into my "Doodles" file.

I feel SO much better!

And the song, from beginning to end, I found again in the heart of a friend.

Is it a flemish twist? wouldnt it unwind if you twisted it opposite of the way it was laid.
Some people live an entire lifetime and wonder if they have ever made a
difference in the world, but the Marines don't have that problem.

with the string loop in your left hand and the remaining string off to your right.  Take one bundle of the string and twist it towards you.  Then twist that over the top away from you over the second bundle.  Then repeat.

Im not sure if I understand why being right or left handed would matter.  The idea is to make sure that when you form the string loops you are actually tying them in so that they cant come undone unless the other one is twisted apart by hand.  If you twist towards you with a bundle then twist away from you over the other bundle, once you get the loop tied in flip the string over and repeat the exact same process for the other loop it will tie them into each other when you finish twisting up the string to adjust your brace height.  Right or left handed wont matter... its almost like asking whats the difference between a square knot tied by a righty versus a lefty.
They are both square knots.
