Subject: Re: Right handed or left handed shoveler? Just for fun



I am "right handed" in that I write , eat, throw a ball, and basically anything that I do I use my right hand When it comes to scooping I put my left hand at the base of the handle& throw over my left shoulder. When I get tired doing it that way I switch hands & throw over the right shoulder but will use the left hand down probably 75% of the time.

Ron, I've spent my share of time working on a sheller crew back in HS and for a few years afterwards. That's when I pretty much learned to shovel with either hand. Us "older guys" would always laugh when we got a rookie & they went about shoveling like they were "killing rats". Wouldn't be long before they were leaning on the shovel taking breaks while we continued to shovel at a steady pace.

A good scooper would throw a scoop of grain and it would all land at the same time. I never quite mastered that technique.
