    I'm right-handed. There are a few things that I can do with both hands like throwing or playing table tennis. Right hand is always better.

    My younger sister is left-handed, but she was forced (in school) to be right-handed since 3rd grade. So, she is both hands now, but she still prefers left hand, especially when eating.

    My second older sister is right-handed when writting. She eats left-handed and she does other things both hands (left hand for precision, right hand for power).

    One of my niece is left-handed when righting, but right-handed for everything else.

    My nephew is right-handed, but sometimes he does his homework left-handed when he gets distracted or getting lazy (doing homework with left hand and playing with right hand).

    Left handed, but I used to play tennis with my right hand (except serving with my left hand), and most of the tools are designed for right-handers (ever tried to use scissors or a chainsaw in a left-hand way? Good luck...). I can aim with both eyes but my left is slightly better.

    Bah, I wish I could use my left hand for more things... especially playing pool/billiards/snooker. I've lost a many games because of my inability to use my left hand...

    I normally do things (open doors, reach for something, ect.) with my left hand, but I have to write with my right.. my handwriting looks like that of a four year old if I try to use my left. So I consider myself right-handed.

    Post Re: Left- or Right-Handed?

    Just quick question here, might I ask if anybody who is single handed (left handed only or right handed only) occasionally writes their letters (but not words) back to front when writing with their less commonly used hand? I'm just curious as to know whether I'm the only one who does it or not.

    Thanks

    I'm right handed... I fire a rifle left handed though. (I have a dominant left eye)

    My wife shoots left handed and her eyes are two differing colours ... the "child of the devil" thing has some merit! ( mental note: do NOT annoy the wife.) :)

    Your wife uses a firearm!? And you live in New Zealand!?
    Such an odd mix is all. I thought firearm laws were pretty tight in New Zealand like they are in Australia. Unless you live on a farm where it's just plainly obvious that you need a firearm, like if a dingo starts to eat your baby.

    We live in a town ( Pop: 20,000).

    The basic firearms licence requires that you sit through a 2 hour safety course, followed by a 25 questions from which you have to get 24 correct.

    Two referees (one related to you, one that is not) to vouch that you are suitable to possess firearms, they are interviewed by the police.

    A suitable storage area for the firearms... ranging from a locked cupboard for a rifle to a safe for pistols and the like.

    None of which is any hardship when compared to the privelege of having the licence.
    My wife owns: a ruger 10/22, a Tikka L/H .223 and we share a replica 1858 .44 Remington revolving carbine (which is more fun, than a rattlesnake down the trousers!)

    My wee wifey is into shooting/hunting, fishing and owns a motorbike (CBR400 Aero) Perfect!

    I'm in that club, too. Started out left-handed, then shown the evil of my ways by Catholic nuns at age 8, and converted to right-handed. Sometimes, in forgetfulness or under stress, I revert to left-handed for some tasks, to the amazement of my (left-handed) wife.

    Thankfully, I'm young enough that people don't force me to be right-handed.

    It's kinda weird though...

    My parents were asked by the teachers their opinion about a prompt forced reducation as they discovered I was left-handed 30 years ago. I'm glad they refused and was not sentenced to torture and dyslexism.
