Latest release (for Vintage Story 1.21.1, potentially outdated):
Corrected_Bow_Animation_1.0.1.zip
1-click install
A simple Mod to change the Bows to be rendered in the Left hand because the character is right-handed.
Credit for animations and concept go to Orangutanion, Shrewbloom, and Rodo.
Please restart your game after installing.
Due to how the animation is patched, having a bow in the right hand will result in other player's (or Armorstands) holding both items in the left hand. Oopsie.
I might update/fix this later. Feel free to report bugs or issues. The mod is very much experimental and not battle tested. Use own your own volition.

The original animation was more correct, since your dominant hand is supposed to be the one aiming
Broskis, anyone know how I could adapt/patch these animations to other modded bows? Theres one for example in the Temporal Technology mod that kindda just breaks anim wise and looks all wonky. ( No Bullseye or Combat Overhaul present feel I should mention that as well)
ManChrzan to keep the better bow positions even in the other hand position
Coulda just switch every other animation to switch off-hand and main-hand... Jk, love the mod
wael6 🤣
wael6, just don't use the mod?????????
you should add a setting that makes it so its back to original hand for people that are left handed
Handedness is weird, I'm right handed in nearly everything and my right eye is my dominant eye, but I aim firearms with my left hand.
This mod's version is accurate to how I shoot a bow though, so honestly the player characters might just have weird handedness.
burgertanker Often the reason you would shoot a bow/gun the opposite of your dominant hand is because it depends on which is your dominant eye. For example I'm left handed but I shoot/draw right handed because my right eye is dominant. Basically means it's the primary eye from which your vision is centered around. Center an object with your fingers with both eyes open and then take turns closing left and right eye. Whichever eye keeps the object centered in your fingers is your dominant eye.
TLDR: Probably done because of the dev's perspective, but I could be wrong.
Can I get a video demonstration? Also those look nice!
My God thank you. This has been bugging me since I got the game. Never made sense to me that the player, being right-hand dominant, would draw with their left arm
Besides, the bow mechanics from Combat Overhaul and bullseye are super hardcoded into the mod. So it would be a lot of work indeed.

Awesome, I hope you have fun with it.
But i am not sure if I understand your request, as Combat Overhaul already puts the bow in the left hand.
LOVELY! Thank you very much! Would it be possible to make it compatible with Combat Overhaul?
