left handers II

elubsme

You have to be above average intelligence and have a lot of patience to compete and survive in a world where everything is designed to be operated in reverse of what comes natural to you. I am 100% correct handed and adapting to a right handed society has never been a problem for me. And I do not write "upside down". I push the pen and have been complimented on my cursive. I can safely say that not being among the majority has never been a problem for me. I met the challenge and think nothing about it. It is what it is, Semper Fi my friends. I do vote on the right, in politics, the left is definitely wrong in so many ways, but that is a topic for another time. Eddie

    I could have wrote that myself, Eddie. Add to that, I can say I have never fired a left handed firearm.

    Thanks for the compliment. It appears that you and I have quite a few things in common. I have never shot a left handed gun either. I would probably fumble it!!

    Everyone was left handed until they committed their first sin.

    I have a LH Remington 870 12ga I bought in about 1973, and did have a Rem 760 BDL 308 and a Rem 870 20ga. I traded off the 760 and 20ga because I am so used to right handed guns.

    I am ambidextrous for the most part. I play golf and bat right hand only… I can write with both hand, (equally bad). I tend to be more left hand oriented in everything else. I shoot left hand, but practice right hand shooting also.

    I have tried left hand rifles on several occasions. It does not work for me as it is too engrained in me to use right hand rifles. I have recently bought a left hand Benelli Super Black Eagle II shotgun. I have been able to transition to it well.

    I do enjoy letting others try a few of my handguns which are set up the the safety on the right side only. It really throws some of them. I tell them, now you know how I feel…

    And some of us truly believe you are absolutely, completely, almost normal.

    I jest, my wife is also a southpaw.

    My wife of 50 years is left handed. She also has O negative blood type. I'm right handed and have O positive blood type.

    We are truly MAGNETIC! 😊

    I agree with you 100% but I do have a bunch of left handed guns.

    I seem to use my left eye more than I thought after having a blood clot in there. I use the door peep with my left, look at dates on coin using a magnifying glass with my left. Even though my eye is still jacked I still use it for those tasks. It's strange.

    I also reel using my right hand but cast using my right. Using my left hand to reel feels odd but i use my left hand to steer the wheel.

    My nephew is left handed. I invited him to a rabbit hunt with a group of us here on the farm but told him he was not allowed to use the over/unders he uses for woodcock & grouse since the tradition here is magazine fed guns. I loaned him my Browning BPS. The BPS ejects out the bottom like the Ithaca 37 and Remington model 10 plus the safety is on the tang like his O/U's.
