I知 more ambidextrous than I realized.
Long story, but I was born a lefty.
I知 right handed now for everything. It doesn稚 explain my handwriting. My writing could be replicated if I used my feet. I bought left handed archery equipment. Full lefty. Man! I知 as good lefty as I am righty! ( not saying much because I stopped shooting for a long time because of a sore shoulder) Going lefty switched shoulders. My shooting is pain free. The shooting feels almost natural. I am weaker, but getting stronger. I turned down the draw weight of my bow. Archery is all muscle memory stuff. I think I got this! Even my left trigger finger has more finesse. I知 going to build up some strength by shooting more. I think I知 even going to try skeet/trap lefty. My left eye is dominant and way way stronger. I wonder what looking thru a rifle scope with my left eye is like?

It feels like I’m getting “some strange” with respect to archery. Everything is new and exciting.

Rafa Nadal (pro tennis) plays tennis left handed.
Otherwise, does everything right handed. I find that strange.

Being ambidextrous is a HUGE advantage in many things. I envy the talent. This was one of the aspects that made Willie Mosconi so great...he shot pool righty or lefty, seldom needed to use a bridge.

I'm a righty, but had to learn to do things with my left when I had a frozen shoulder.

My wife is ambidextrous. She can write perfectly with both hands and can pretty do anything else jsut as well with both hands. Funny thing is, she holds a fork with her left, but give her a pair of chopsticks, it immediately goes on her right hand. Me, I can do a damn thing with my left, I have to train myself to use my left hand with using tools. When I broke my collar bone and three ribs, I couldn't function and had a hard time wiping my ass.

I'm gout's guinea pig. Had it in toes, feet, ankles, knees, elbows, hands, 'n fingers. Presently on Uloric and Cholchicine. Pic is only 6 weeks old. Dr. said to take photos of all and in a year I'll see the difference due to Uloric. No attacks in 6 weeks. .
