I don’t know. It is standard procedure in practical shooting to have some weak hand targets thrown in, personally, I’m an A trapshooter with a shotgun, won a bunch of handgun speed events, and capable of competing in PRS events with a rifle as I regularly shoot at 800 plus yards.

I’m definitely a pistol shooter by preference however. I think any shooter in the middle of a PRS match, a B-C trapshooter or someone way short of Miculek would clean her clockin a bad way. The Grand American trapshoot just ended and it took a thousand targets to get a winner in a 200 target competition. The winner broke 1000 straight.

You don't praise her for her accomplishments which inspired others, you denigrate her.

I know that. My dad was a Marine pilot, my uncle a helicopter pilot in the ‘Nam; my two brothers served in Iraq and my mom is a military brat. I’m at the range at least once a week with a family day out.

Okay - works for me. I believe it was brought up by some woman’s group a while back.

Yeah I took my wife to the range. Took some coxing. I don’t get to shoot much so I’m definitely below average, but she was shooting at my level immediately. Then I realized her nursing background gave her very steady hands. Nobody wants me giving an IV.

As with chess and singing, I seem to be a better teacher than a performer. But then my dad had a stroke when I was 6 and what little I know I was self taught completely...

I’ve taught several women to shoot and only was problematic, and that was mostly because she shouted her ex’s name at the target before emptying all 6 shots into it (or, rather in proximity to it) way too fast and loud enough to startle the dude with hearing protecting on the next lane. The sister I never wanted, think a Hispanic Lucille Ball who watched ‘Natural Born Killers’ too many times
