    Write right.
    Throw right.
    Shoot right, but do so left if necessary.
    Cast right or left with equal accuracy.
    Retrieve baitcasters right. Never could get used to the left hand receive thing.
    Retrieve spinning left.
    Learned to do alot of stuff with my left after tearing my right bicep tendon.
    Necessity is a great motivator.

    Left: eat, write and fish ( kick left footed primarily, can use right foot)
    Can write right handed but the reader MUST slow down and annunciate...

    Having just started using a baitcaster 4-5 yrs ago I thought for sure I would want a lefty having always left hand retrieved a spinning reel...was really surprised that when I went to buy my first one I chose righty retrieve...would like to become adept at flipping with my left to hit those tougher to reach spots...just need more practice time

    Write- right handed
    shoot rifle and pistol- right handed
    hold a baitcaster in left hand retrieve with right
    hold a spinning reel in right hand retrieve with left
    kick a ball with left leg/foot
    throw a ball right handed
    can use left hand just as well as right (for the most part)

    learned early being ambidextrous has its advantage.

    Lacrosse-Both handed, little difference, actually go lefty more.
    fishing- Either hand no difference, filp lefty more. There is huge advantage in angled on cover being able to cast both hands.
    Wrestle I would set up on left side just to throw off the opponent.

    I Have mostly right custom recurves, but have a lefty that I shoot a bit, and have taken several deer with.
    Don't have an issue shooting a gun lefty, Turkey or deer hunting.

    Throw a ball left, no but I played lax not baseball in spring.
