Hi Steffen,

No, they can't do that as Lars is using a basic longbow. Modern compound and recurve bows are all either right handed or left handed, with the hand grip and arrow rests made for the appropriate handedness.

The expert recommendation I have read is that if one is left-eyed and right handed, to go and buy a left handed bow and practice using it left handed, and vice versa. Apparently eye dominance is the more important factor for archery.

Some archer's have been critical of many of the claims in Lars' video (though not of his skill).

For your entertainment, here is another video about another super archer.
