Myself, im a right-hander but i have to shoulder a gun on my left as i am left-eyed!

Also i would like to know how come it feels just so wrong shaking hands with the left hand?

Depends which hand you use to wipe yourself with.

It feels wrong because it is wrong. The word sinister is derived from sinistrum-the left side and sinistra-the left hand.

Right handed mostly, but left handed when wielding a pool cue...

I'm right handed, because I am normal. Left-handed people are weird. Have you ever seen one of them? They grow horns and shoot laser beams out of their eyes, I tell ye!

I don't shoot guns or hold pool cues, so I don't know about that but my guess would be whatever is normal for right handed people. I play whistle and flute "right-handed."

My brother is left-handed, but does just about everything with his right (guitar, he was in the National Guard, and used his right hand for all that military stuff, etc..)

So Cran, do you know which is your shooting eye?

Pick a spot on the wall on the other side of the room, with both eyes open raise an arm close to your chin(extended away from you) and point at that object or spot.
Now without moving your arm, close one eye then open it, then do the same with the other eye.
The eye that made the finger move the LEAST is your shooting eye!

Clearly, you weren't a Boy Scout.

I'm left-handed in everything except eating with a knife and fork. This is why I play the bloody harmonica instead of something useful like the fiddle.

I eat left handed but that is about it.

I've still got both hands.

Im right handed but I use my left hand for the computer mouse.

I guess I just got used to it since I used my brother's computer so much in high school (he's left-handed). Now it feels weird to do it the other way around. O.o

I'm right handed. Before Lasik, my right eye was my "better" eye, and I'm also right eye dominant (I also, from target archery and using a microscope, know not to shut my left eye when focusing).
We actually diagnosed Noah's vision problems (he has a really weird astigmatism) because he was target shooting and wanted to cross eye focus (use his left and lean over the gun).

Though I'm a confirmed southpaw in almost all respects, I kick a football with my right foot, use my right eye for everything such as looking through microsopes and telescopes, and hold the phone to my right ear.

I'm right handed in writing, though since high school I've been semi-training myself to be ambidextrous for everything else (because too much right-handed activity makes my elbow and arm hurt). I'm left eyed for archery and photography, which is odd because that's the eye with a stronger astigmatism.

My grandmother is left handed but everyone else in my family is a righty as far as I know.
