When Akecheta approaches the village after Dolores has killed Robert the string of his bow is on the outside of his right forearm. Useless to try and arm an arrow fast. The moment Akecheta reaches Robert his bow is reversed and the string is on the inside.
At 20:38 when Akecheta pauses before cutting the cowboys throat two extras can be seen in the background joking and practicing spinning their guns.
Actually when he returns to that scene later and gives himself up to be killed, it is obvious those are guests. As such they would have no reason not to have been joking around earlier as they know that they are in no actual danger.
