Dominant Hand

Almost ambidextrous. Writing, only right handed.

Though at football, I am perfectly ambidextrous. I can shoot the ball almost the same, even though the left is better.

I've always been right handed but I learnt to eat the left handed way because my parents didn't even notice I eat dinner the left handed way until I was 14.

I voted Gah! on my own poll because it was true... heh, I don't follow tradition guys.

I've been working on writing with my left hand. Looks like a pre-k kid did it... but it'll come around.

I use my both hands.After over 5 years a go, i broke my right hand badly.(The trias bone where the fingers is attached split in half.) I had to learn to do everything with my left hand and after my right hand healed i have continued using both on most tasks.

I kinda wish that would happen to me... but I don't want it to hurt... lol

I shoot a gun with my left hand, but use most things with my right.

Yeah, i shoot the bow with my left... it's extremely awkward the other way.

Righthanders tend to shoot the bow with the left.

The dominance of the eye is generally determined first. Lefties were forced to write right, and thus the eye-test is more solid.

The dominant eye is closest to the arrows nock and is used to aim (either string/sight system or using the whole lenght of the arrow). When the right eye is dominant, the right hand needs to be on the string and the left is used to push the bow away. Left handed people having a dominant right eye need to shoot that way too.

There are exceptions for everything though.
