How man lefties are there?
 
Just curious of how many lefties we have around here? I am a true lefty, shoot lefty bows/firearms, I write left handed, I drive with my left hand, played all sportsleft-handed, kick better with my left leg, fight in asouth-paw stance (martial arts, MMA) andeven my left eye is stronger than myright! Little extreme don't you think!:)

I'm a lefty too!! My guns are all right hand models, I also have some eye issues so even rabbit hunting I use my left eye only! It really stinks when you have to pay more or order something just because your a lefty!!![:@]

I'm a true leftie also.Everything left handed except martial arts,I was trained to fight out of a right handed stance.Not an easy thing to do,going against everything that comes natural.

Right handed, left eye dominant.

I have always shot rifles and shotguns from my left side. When I picked up archery back in the late 70's I shot righthanded equipment, it was awkward for me due to having to wear a patch over my left eye. It wasnt until this past year I started shooting a left handed bow. While very awkward at first...being a right handed person it was tough I can say it's the best thing I could have done.

I too am like 24/7. I'm right handed but left eye dominant. I've shot guns and bows lefty for about the last 15 years after shooting right handed as a kid. I actually think it's more comfortable than shooting right handed.

I am a true lefty also and I shoot right handed guns, got used to them would be afraid to change now regarding the safety's mostly. Hate to shoot my 1100 automatic on a windy day, I am sure you understand why.....

Bill Veeck, as in wreck, wrote a good book on lefties. The ignition key on your car and the roll of toilet and many other things are on the wrong for a lefty. www.lazyshuntclub.org

I'm a little more comfortable right-handed, but left eyed, so I shoot southpaw. I'm close to ambidextrous, it really freaks people out to see me write either way! Kickboxing seemed more natural southpaw when I started, but Coach made me switch, because my right cross and left hook are a little better than the other way around.

I'm left handed as well....

drhntr178 07-17-2006 04:11 PM

RE: How man lefties are there?
 
I shoot a gun left handed and should shoot a bow the same way but chose to go right handed just for convenience. I am left eye dominant so I gotta keep my cool when i see a big buck and close my left eye or my sightpicture goes haywire.

Why is it that most lefties are ambedextrious and most righties could switch hands tosave their lives. I cant count how many times being able to switch hands whether hunting, sports, or daily chores has came in very handy, pun intended. For this reason, Lefties are definitely superior sportsman!!!

Pure southpaw

Southpaw all the way here too.
Everyone is born right-handed only the great ones turn left.;):D

all lefty here too..........the only thing I do right handed is play drums, much easier to not have to worry about switching kits around.

Completely left sided. Left eye dominant. When I get injured, it's almost always on my left side.I have to switch hands with my fork when I need to cut meat or veggies on my plate, then, I need to switch after cutting as I can't even use a fork with my right hand.

RE: How man lefties are there?
 
I'm really messed up. I shoot a bow LH, eat LH, play pool either hand, write with either hand, and can drink beer with either hand if need be.
I shoot a gun rh, throw rh, and play golf rh.
When I was in the first grade a few years ago I had my teacher try to make me be right handed when I was actually LH. I remember her saying that its a right handed world. I'm not really too sure what I am, other than messed up.;)

Count me in. Trying to re-gear after many years.

RE: How man lefties are there?
 
I'm way left handed. Left eye dominant, shoot lefty, write, bat and throw lefty,but. kick a soccer ball righty. Had a drill Sergeant in the Army force me to shoot some weapons righty, (he was a knucklehead, ended up with an Article 15 and lost his hat, but that's another story). My daughter is righty but left eye dominant so I taught her to shoot lefty.

RE: How man lefties are there?
 
Im lefty as well.bows/firearms/writting/driving.i kick w/my left leg.i throw w/my right arm.however i am left handed on guitar i play a right hand guitar upside down but i also can play a lefthanded guitar so both ways is pretty easy.im left eye dominant to.but i agree that lefty should have to be more expensive or have to wait 6-8 weeks to get in something we want/need as bad as the next person.

In cursed too. So far I have 8 left hand rifles,1 left hand bow and 9 right hand rifles. I pass up quite a few nice guns a yr since I refused to buy a righty.

I too am like 24/7 and it seems there are many others. I'm right handed but left eye dominant. I've shot guns and bows lefty for about the last27 years after shooting right handed as a kid. I think it's more comfortable shootingleft handed but when I first started it did not feel that way.

Anybody counted so far how many Lefties. I am ambedextrious but do most left handed. Most of my guns are LH or are either hand like NEF Single shot Shotguns, SxSs, O/U, etc. My muzzleloaders are mostly both hand except for my Civil War Models which are right handed. Pistols are not a concern, though all are RH. Lefties Rule ! ! !
