I'm left handed, but play a guitar and fish right handed.

Left handed, left eye dominant. Write with my left hand just like a right handed.
The only thing I do right handed is shoot a bow and arrow. Right handed bows were all we had growing up.
I own very few right handed firearms now. Even my AR's have left handed uppers.

I shoot left handed as does my son. If my son was right handed I have quite a few useless rifles and shotguns. Thankfully he will inherit guns he can use.

I write and eat left handed, but do everything else right handed. I had arm broken and shoulder dislocated when young.
How many lefties out there? Me. Remember - we're the only ones in our 'right' mind...

I shoot, eat, & write left handed. I'm left eye dominant. I do everything else right handed.

Left hand, Right hand----------Let's see... Left is when the thumb is on the inside right? Coaching LL football we had a kid that honestly had no clue, all plays ended in either L or R, every time when a play was called[practice] he would look down at his hands which he would be moving like he was tossing a ball up and down until his mind could tell him which was which. He was probably 12 at the time.

He was probably 12 at the time. My son has a friend that, even today when he's 28 years old, can't remember which is right or left. He holds his index fingers straight up with his thumb on a 90* angle. Which ever one makes the letter "L", that's his left. The funny part is that he's now an elementary school teacher. He's really smart, but just has this mental block or something.

I have heard that lefties have difficulty with left and right and will attest to that. Not as bad as having to look at my hands to tell but if someone says turn right or turn left I have to think about it for a second.
Good thing I wasn't in Gunny Hartman's platoon...

Yes. Depends on the endeavor. Right eye dominant. Baseball, softball, bowling, and frisbie left handed throws. Firearms right handed, archery used to be left but went right at about 30 yrs. Football, darts, golf, batting, tennis, ping pong, writing, and eating right hand. Corn toss left hand. No issues picking out port or starboard.
Must admit that it's fun to tell folks that have difficulties that it's the other left.

I write left handed but am right handed otherwise, and am a bit ambidextrous.

Hanco: I have a few left handed friends - they come in handy when shooting Varmints from the VarmintMobile on private land (I shoot out the left window being right handed and the lefties shoot out the right hand window). Other than that they aren't to useful. Its my understanding that nearly 10% of Americans are left handed. Stressed out expectant mothers are much more likely to give birth to lefties - puzzling that. Among the many famous and dynamic left handers are Albert Einstein, Sir Isaac Newton, Charles Darwin and Benjamin Franklin! Among the many infamous and truly horrible people that are left handed would be the Boston Strangler, Jack The Ripper, Osama Bin Laden and barrack hussein obama! Sadly they say left handed people live much shorter lives on average than right handers (7 to 8 years less!). Heres wishing all you lefties a long and prosperous life. Hold into the wind VarmintGuy

Totally left handed and I have guns to prove it.
