Gladys Kravitz needed one of those.
They used those in the school I went to :rofl:
I still have the emotional and physical scars from the nuns smacking me on the top of my hand with the edge side of the yard stick to stop me from writing left handed. Okay well physical anyway.Quote:

My 4th grade teacher was overcome with glee when I showed up after the Christmas/ New year's holidays with my left arm in a cast. She had tried from my 1st day in her class to force me to write with my right hand, think it really ticked her off when she realized I could write just as well right-handed as I could with my left I just preferred to write with my left and still do. She finally gave up after my cast was removed when. one day she made me write the multiplication tables through 12x12 at the chalk board. When I held a piece of chalk in both hands writing at the same timeQuote:

Most left hand dominant folks are ambidextrous to a large degree. since you do most of your sports predominantly right-handed you might find that you are right sighted. go to a place that quality archery equipment is sold Not some place like Cabels, Bass & pro shops, or Dicks sporting goods. A place that specializes in archery alone, ask them to let you try out both a left and a right-hand recurve bow within 5 arrows from both bows if the guy selling the equipment is an archer himself, he will know which one is best suited for you, whether you happen to think so or not.Quote:
