My girlfriend is ambidextrous and wants a compound bow, but isn't sure which side she will be more comfortable pulling back from. Where in the Baton Rouge area can I being her that will let her pull back and test a bow without having to buy first?

We tried that already, she can literally shot either way with a rifle, its more of a feel for her at this point . Just doesnt know if she will be more comfortable pulling back left or right

Put a bow down in front of her and ask her to pick it up. Which ever hand she used to reach down and grab it, is the correct side. The brain knows best.

Most places I've seen will allow you to pull the bow back, as long as you don't dry-fire it. If you dry-fire it, you usually buy it lol

Bowie, Bass Pro, or cabelas should have both LH and RH models to try out as well as test shoot at their indoor ranges.

Bowies and Spillway will take the time to let her shoot a bow or several bows. The outdoors themed department stores are hit or miss as to whether they have someone committed to working the archery department that shift or whether they know chit about a bow.

Thank you all for the suggestions. We originally went to bass pro and they wouldn't let her pull back or shoot unless we bought it firts. So on the way to check the game cameras we swung by the spillway store. The guy went out of his was to help her out and get her set up.
