Longbow left handed VR?
I recently got a VR headset so have been trying out the game's VR mode. It's been pretty fun so far but when I selected the longbow for a mission, whenever I switched weapons to it it always put it in my right hand. I have the game's left handed VR setting active and I always click on the weapon switch button with my left hand, but it always puts it in my right hand. I was wondering if there was any way to use the bow left handed?

It's because the main hand holds the arrow in the case of bows. I'm right handed, and the bow appears in my left hand, and the arrow in my right. So it's natural that it's switched around in left handed mode.
I had a bow build, it was actually needed for Lab Rats DSOD, but I had to modify the belt too for that, so the reload box is under my right hand, when it's normally under my left hand.
So... it's kinda problematic to use bows in VR. Either you reconfigure the whole game around bows, or you don't use them.
If I understand correctly, left handed mode switches around other controls too, not just in which hand the weapon appears, so going right handed mode with bows wouldn't be a solution for you.

The VR Improvements mod lets you remap controls, but the interface for that is extremely wonky, and it probably doesn't worth it to remap everything every time you pick up a bow.

Thanks for letting me know, that's so dumb I wish I could just use it in whichever hand I pick it up with like I can any other weapon in the game
