Abstract: An archery bow includes an elongated riser having an upper beam, a lower beam and an intermediate handle support. The riser defines a vertical axis of symmetry extending through the upper beam, lower beam and handle support. The riser is symmetrical about the axis of symmetry to define mirror image portions. A pair of limb pocket assemblies are securable to the upper and lower beams of the riser from either side with respect to the axis of symmetry. A handle grip or handle together with an overdraw guard and arrow rest are securable to either side of the riser in mirror image attachments. A cable guard constructed in accordance with conventional fabrication techniques is securable to the riser so as to extend from either side of the riser with respect to the access of symmetry.
