Lars is a fine archer, but kind of an idiot when it comes to history. Mongol, Chinese, Korean, Japanese, Turkish and Arab archers always shot off the right side of the bow, and still do (they also shoot with their thumbs). It's the Western Europeans that shot off the left side for no other reason than that's just how archery evolved in those areas, and Western became the norm for archery in modern Europe and North America.

Here is a family friend's website on traditional Chinese archery.
