I really makes no difference..... Unless your shooting a selfbow off of your hand (no arrow shelf)....

I've always liked Left wing for some reason.

If you are shooting screw in type points, I'd suggest right; otherwise left.

I love it.  I had a dealer tell me once left wing east of the Mississippi and right wing west of the Mississippi.
