Left handed?

[Mike Mathieu]

Statistics say that 5-15% of the population is left-handed. So if this holds true, out of 11,588 active members on this forum there should be between 579-1738 of us here. So count off south-paws.

Right handed but no vision in right eye. Shoot rifles left handed, pistols right handed. Bow and arrow, left handed.

I move things with my mind, but type with both hands.... Go figure.

[Marty Weatherup]

All left handed. Except for roping. Found out after I learned to throw a rope that they do make left handed ropes. No joke.

There some jokes in Wasilla... maybe not about ropes though, right?

I'm left handed.

I have to file the lock buttons off of all my portable electric tools to keep them from locking when I grab a tool with my left hand.

Took me a long time to find a left handed Hawken rifle but I eventually found one.

[Randal Stevenson]

Left dominant. I have learned to do so much both handed, I just write left handed (when I was a kid and my brother broke his arm, I had to teach him left, and him teach me right).

[Cliff Rohrabacher]

Every one is born right handed.




Only the great ones over come it.

[Dewey Torres]

Add me to the count!

[Edwood Ferrari]

Left Handed, Right eye dominate forced to live in an oppressive right world.

Shoot right, bat left, golf left.

[John Fricke]

Everything is to the left here except golfing

[Pat Germain]

Another left hander here!

That 5-15% statistic seem pretty broad. I saw a documentary about this awhile back. It said 10% of any group of people (except lefties) are left handed. It's universal among humans. It's the same in every country and among every ethnicity. It's the same among men and women. And nobody knows how or why.

I used to work at a small software company. A coworker and I had heard that techie types tend to be left handed. If that was true, it stood to reason more than 10% of the employees would be left handed. We surveyed each and every person at the office; about a hundred folks. At first it seemed there were indeed more than 10% lefties. In the end, it was right at 10%.

Only the gifted over come it.


That how I know it guys.

Count me in, mostly lefty, except golfing, and baseball. I tried like hell to learn to shoot right handed but lefty is just more comfortable. I can shoot a rifle pretty well wrong handed, but I have to shoot a shotgun with my left.

[Eddie Watkins]

I'm a leftie but I usually write right. They made me sit on my left hand when I was learning to write. The experts are right, forcing a leftie to be a rightie really messes them up!:eek: Just ask LOML.:rolleyes:

BTW, in my family we were 50/50 with my dad, my sister and I all born left and my mom, brother and another sister born right.

[CW McClellan]

Check the US Presidents --left handed
D%^^ what a mess :eek: :D
MY 2cent but my Dad is lefty not me --I'm with the majority :D:D

[Randy Davidson]

My brother and I are both lefties, neither parent is. Didn't ask the milk man.

[Dave Anderson NH]

I'm a leftie though right eye dominant. Made learning to shoot a lot easier, but it also means being extremely careful when hand cutting dovetails.

[Chris Padilla]

Mom, Dad, and myself are all righties...my brother is a southpaw.

Wife, Daughter, and myself are all righties....

[Bruce Shiverdecker]

Might want to make this into a poll. Lefty Here.

No worries. It's not genetic. :)

[Dan Mages]

Im a pure lefty.

Did you know that 1 in 4 Apollo astronauts were left handed?

[Brad Trent]

Left handed here, too. I can do almost anything with either hand equally as badly.

[gary Zimmel]

One more lefty

[Jeff Caskie]

lefty here.

many more lefties in the world than 'statistics' want you to believe...

[Ken Becker]

Add me to the list.
I'm about as left-handed as you can get.
I can't do anything right...............

[John Ricci]

Another lefty here:cool:

J.R.

[Ron Jones near Indy]

I do everything right except write, which I do left.:confused::confused:

[Darryl Hazen]

I'm a lefty.

Did you know that the right side of the brain controls the left hand and the left side controls the right hand? That means lefties are the only ones in their right mind !:D

[Bill Houghton]

that I'm right-eye-dominant (a surprise after 60 years).

My dad went back to college in his 50s for his BA and reported to me, with delight, one day that the college had surveyed the student body and discovered that 20% of the students were left-handed, and so had purchased that percentage of those dreadful tablet-arm chairs in left-handed versions for the lecturer halls. He argued that this demonstrated we lefties are more intelligent.

I countered that it could mean we can't get work and so have to go to school longer.

[Rich Engelhardt]

Hello,
I'm right.

My wife is bi. :D

[Paul Ryan]

Thanks Rich,


I needed a good laugh this morning.

[Leigh Costello]

I'm a lefty and so is hubby, but I bat right-handed so I can see which base to run to!:D

[Irwin Fletcher]

I'm lefty, so is my wife. Our son is 3 months old, so the verdict is still out on whether he is or not.
