If an APD arrow is made, there are left and right hand versions. Left-handed
arrows are made with siloflex APDs and not the Asgard APDs because there is
an angle to the APD itself that makes it right or left handed. In order for
the APD to not rip your hand off, it has to be set at a 45-degree (or so)
angle between the staff/bow and the shelf/hand. Unfortunately to do this for
right handed folks, it would go directly into the hand of left handed folks,
and vice-versa.
