I'm a weird one.... my body is "left hand dominant", but my right hand is dominant.

Writing, throwing a ball, etc: right hand.

Kicking a ball, shooting a gun / bow, swing a bat / golf club, etc: left hand.

It's really funny because my brother is the exact opposite.

Speaking of shooting. . I'm right handed..  but left eye dominant. . Which is ok for scoped longarms but headache time with iron sights, also headache with handguns iron sights and really feckin confusing with a red dot scope!  ... never tested laser sights.

And for general inquiry of lefty righty. .. knife,fork and spoon use? .... I'm always fork left but spoon right?

Can't comment on shooting, but I'm right handed for everything, use fork with right hand, but also wear wristwatch on right hand. Left hand is just a useless fumbling grabber and holder, apart from playing guitar.

Mainly right, but I can do a few things lefty.

I use a fork predominantly in my left hand, and I can shoot nearly ambidextrously.  That has been trained, though.  Back when I used to paintball I learned it was easier/safer to shoot lefty out of the left side of cover so I learned to shoot lefty and righty interchangeably.  It's something I continued to practice when transitioning to firearms.

My left hand is capable, it has motor skills, but the reason I can't write lefty I think is just because I never practiced to.  I tend to switch it up when using tools and such, sometimes when laying down lines as well.  Occasionally I'll draw across a straight edge lefty...
