I’m left-handed, I’ve had three styles of writing. When I was in school I wrote with a very forward slant; perhaps to write quickly, I don’t remember. That style eventually changed into writing straight up and down when I’m not rushed (and for writing family letters and formal documents) to writing with a slight forward slant when I’m not trying to be neat. If one looks at my writing done during the past week, it could just about pass as two individuals’ writing.
Regarding modern weapons, when visiting a shooting range with his Scout troop, a relative was the only boy who was doing poorly (and was very frustrated). He became the instructor’s challenge. After trying different techniques, the instructor asked him to hold the rifle in the other hand. That made a huge difference. He was told that some people are right-handed but focus with the non-dominant eye. Note: when questioned a few years earlier if he was actually left- or right-handed, he was given a “test” by a teacher. A piece of paper was rolled up (like a long tube). He was handed the rolled up paper and asked to look through the tube - he accepted the rolled up paper with his right hand but put it up to his left eye. Supposedly, this was an indication of which eye was dominant.
