right handed means hold the bow with your left hand and pull the string with the right hand, right?

Yes, but choosing right or left hand for the bow has to do with which eye is dominant. If your right eye is dominant, then you need a right hand bow. To determine this, pick a small object on a far wall and, with both eyes open, frame that spot by putting your hands together and looking through the hole between them. Then close your left eye. If the object is in view, then you are right eye dominant. Close your right eye and the object should disappear.

The bow is adjustable between 10 pounds and 20 pounds.

is this a bow that can actually be used for hunting as well as for archery practice shooting targets?

The bow itself is not intended for hunting. As for whether it could be used for hunting, that will depend upon state law where you live. For example, in my state, it is illegal to use any bow under 40 pounds of draw weight for any hunting. This bow has a maximum draw weight of 20 pounds, so it is far below that limit. Your state's laws may be different, though, so there's a chance that it may be legal for some hunting purposes in your state.

Does this bow come with arrows or any other pieces? There is nothing in the description saying what it comes with.

If you want arrows with the Bow, you must buy the Kit, that comes with 6? arrows, a quiver and an arm guard.Most archery dealers stock the "Easton #1820 Aluminum arrows" or you can also order online. The 1820 is the Required arrow for NASP competition.

Description

Genesis Original Bow Review: My first compound bow, bought after few days of research and do not regret it, the whole family is enjoying it. Do not pull and then release the string without arrow, you may damage your bow (or rather the string). If you plan to tune the pull strength of the bow, check online manuals/videos first . The packaging was terrible - no padding, I can only imagine what was happening to the bow while it was traveling. Also, the bow came with stickers that were partly removed however the bow looked hhhm.. not quite like a new bow should look like. Review: Great bow for beginners, comfortable, easy to use, and it was delivered quickly
