They might sound like a lot of work till you realize you only need 3-4 pumps for plinking.

I'm right hand dominant, but there are several things that I naturally do left-handed: archery and slingshots, for example. I would say I'm right-handed slightly ambidextrous.

I was born right handed but forced to be left handed by my Daddy. When it comes to shooting guns, I can do it either way. I do archery totally right handed. Most other stuff, I can get by either way but am more comfortable doing left handed.

Well your "daddy" was smart to make you join the club
. Anyway I also fish left handed ( I cast with my right hand) I also use all types of scissors with my right hand. When we played baseball in P.E. I naturally held the bat on my right shoulder.

Actually I'm a lefty and I was just kinda wondering how many other lefties there are out there, but shooting is definitely not as easy to do as a leftie, so I guess it kinda is about shooting but not specifically.

I'm a leftie but do everything right handed except actual writing. Golf, baseball, hockey, shooting all with my right. Right eye dominant. Another thing I have noted being a construction worker is that tape measures are leftie. Held in the right hand for left hand marking the numbers are right side up.

Do to a birth defect I am a left handed. I shoot long guns and bows and slingshots right handed. I shoot pistols left handed. I am right eye dominant. I have to carry a chart to remind me how to do it.

Right handedness is the most common genetic defect ! LOL
do just about everything left handed, except play guitar. but then again, no one ever says i'm any good at a guitar anyways!
it has its advantage as fancy dinners. everyone will think you were "raised" properly if you eat left handed.

Back in 79 I lost the use of my right hand due to an injury and was forced to learn to use my left hand for certain tasks . Needless to say between pain meds and being stubborn my first trip to the little boys room did not end well and the nurse was not happy when they had to extricate me from between the wall and the toilet.

I thought rightie would be more dominant. Surprisingly pretty close.
