This is in Georgia, about 30 minutes north of Atlanta, where we still believe shooting is something kids should learn to excel at. There was a picture in the article but the crappy old computer I'm posting from can't see the upload words I have to type in to put it on Tinypic. The picture is here: http://media.morristechnology.com/mediafilesvr/upload/forsythnews/article/2011/01/28/shooter.jpg

Good for her...N. Forsyth is in my school district and I’m actually surprised they still have rifle competition in H.S.

Shoot like a girl, if you can. Outstanding!

I sure hope she gets to fly IN the airplane rather than on it.

My grandson is heading to High School next year and wants to go out for their rifle team. They have an indoor range right in the building.

It's a good thing.

American TV networks covering the Olympic Games refrain from reporting on shooting sports, except for such combined events such as triathlon where rifle marksmanship is integrated with other elements. Could this be a result of anti-firearm bias?

I can see it now— some guys are gonna get beat by a girl.

Having taught 4H air rifle and other firearm programs for years I find that the girls/women that want to learn how to shoot can and most of the time become better shots then the boys/men.

They just seem to be calmer about the whole idea of shooting and more willing to to learn and listen.

Thank God for people like Sgt. Jack "Gunny" Snook and the CMP. Rebecca deserves a lot of credit and needs to be terrific... the competition from juniors is going to be top notch. We may see her in the Olympics!! Good luck Becky!
