One daughter left handed, one daughter ambidextrous, me, right.  Both their grandfathers were lefties, guess it skipped a generation.  Softball coach loved my ambi daughter, tell her to switch hands in the middle of the pitches.

More lefties and ambidextrous than there should be, statistically. I wonder if sawmilling draws them out of the woodwork. So to speak.

If you can consistently operate your sawmill hydraulics with your "other" hand.....you just might be a redneck
ambidextrous.   ;D

I'm so right handed it's like my left is just along for the ride sometimes  :D. Didn't help any when I had a tree land on me and crush my left wrist 17 years ago. I do my best to use my left but it's kinda futile.
You ambidextrous folks make me a bit jealous, definitely would make certain tasks easier.

I am left handed but right eye dominant. I played softball left handed but shoot right handed, my bow is right hand. My writing is awful. When I sit at a table I always try and sit all the way to the left.

😂😂😂 That's the same way I am, the left arm doesn't do much compared to the right.
     The opposite eye dominance phenomenon is fairly common, it's easy to spot when someone has shooting difficulties.

But then there is someone that if his "shooting" is off.....

He puts on a purple skirt.  Made him so great that he made the "list".

Growing up, our family has 7 kids.  To be able to sit 9 at the table, we had a big round redwood picnic table in our kitchen/dining room.  One sister was left handed.  There is no "left end" to sit at on a round table!  We had 5 two-seat benches around it.  So, she often had a bench to herself...

That is a real problem, no one wants to sit to my left at the dinner table. ;D At one place I worked, the boss' wife, the parts man and I were all lefties, it drove the boss nuts that the note book, the pen and calculator were to the left of the phone.

I am the "Black Sheep" in my family I'm right handed.  :D Mom, Dad, Brother, Aunt, Uncle, Grandparents all lefties.  But learned how to do a lot left handed. Broke my right twice the only thing that I can't do is write lefty.

I'm both for many things, but left handed given the choice.
The one thing that I absolutely cannot do right handed is throw something overhand. If it looks as awkward as it feels I'm sure it would make for some good entertainment for folks. :D

Dave Shepard

In regards to throwing things,  I am ambisinistrous.

I am right handed , throw right handed , bat left handed, play golf right handed, left eye dominant. Maybe that explains why I get dizzy when I stand up :)

I write left handed, throw right, shoot bow right, shoot gun left, hammer with either hand. Can run a chainsaw left or right just as easy ( when climbing or in the bucket this is necessary sometimes ).
