Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire How many left handers out there?

I have two (adopted) sons who are left hand shooters. The oldest is 100% lefty everything. The younger plays ball right hand right foot and writes right handed, but shoots left. I started them both out shooting a right hand pellet gun and they were very dysfunctional at loading and cocking it. So we moved up to left hand bolt .22lr and it was so natural for them both. Heck, I have a hard time shooting their stuff now. Totally backwards.

Totally left handed shooting rifle, shotgun, pistol and bow. Fish right-handed.

I'm about half and half.

Ambisinistral?

Ambidextrous. I have a helluva time with 'turn right' turn left'. No dominant hand, really.

The right half of the brain controls the left half of the body.
This means that only left handed people are in their right mind.

southpaw here as well.

I am a complete lefty.

I write left handed. I throw a baseball left handed, but I throw a football right handed, I shoot a pistol left handed but a rifle and shotgun right handed. I shoot a left handed bow but use right handed golf clubs. I swing a hammer with my left hand but use scissors with my right. My right arm is my strongest and I'm right eye dominant. Somethings just feel more natural with one hand versus the other but I've always considered myself to be a lefty,

My teachers encouraged me to write with my right hand so I did. I'm left eye dominant, throw and shoot left handed, but I golf right handed and can bat either way. I purged my gun collection of all right hand bolts about 10 years ago, but I still have a Belgium Browning BAR and an AR with RH upper. Never had any issues with ejected brass with either one. My shotgun is a LH Benelli SBE 2.

Left handed here. So is my daughter. Baylor Health Edu. quote: " Left-handers are twice as likely to qualify for membership in Mensa, and when NASA needed imaginative, reliable, multitalented astronauts to explore the moon, it turned out that 1 out of every 4 of the Apollo astronauts was left-handed, which is 250% greater than statistical probability" .

interesting. my granddad was a lefty. made it to 97. his son, my uncle was a lefty made it to almost 90.

if they had been righties they might have been still alive according to some of the pundits?

i'm a lefty, and as a True Christian, i'm pretty sure i'd be better off dead.

in the past Left -Handedness could get one enslaved or kilt.

I'm all screwed up!

Shoot, eat, write, wipe, throw darts, bowl and shoot a basketball lefty. Golf, hit a baseball (fast pitch softball now, I'm old), kick and VOTE right. I can throw with either hand!

My oldest daughter is very similar to me as far as lefty/righty.

I've owned a few left handed rifles, but ended up selling them as I can work a right handed bolt action just as fast and are cheaper to buy. Only lefty rifle is my heavy varmint Savage 112 in .223!
