Women turn to shooting for protection, outdoor fun

NEW YORK - Marjory Fagan stood motionless, slowed her breathing, stared ahead intently and then moved her index finger almost imperceptibly. Bang! Wincing slightly from the .22-caliber rifle's recoil and piercing report, she steadied herself, leveled the rifle and pulled the trigger again.

Bang! Wincing slightly from the .22-caliber rifle's recoil and piercing report

To whoever wrote this drivel or actually shot that 22.

One, put some damn earmuffs on if a .22 popgun is too much noise.
Two, do some arm workouts because you seriously need to gain some strength.

Now I really don't feel bad at all for having to pay $107 a year.

Here's the range I shoot at.

Gunstock '04. Her and her boyfriend are really good people...

.22-caliber rifle's recoil and piercing report

My six year old enjoyed this also.

My .22s don't seem to pack the wallop as do hers. Maybe she braced it up on her eyeball and didn't wear muffs.

My lovley wife was one of the people featured in this article in the local paper. I bought her a Ruger pistol and she loves it.

She shot a S&W BFR .50 once, too. Man did that give her some bragging rights where she works!

""Fix the roof" Like a hot chick with a shotgun!"

Yes, well, that's the reason my roof needs fixin', is 'cause of this shotgun here.

[TalonDJ]

haha! I always tell people that. That horror movies should all last 10 minutes and end with some nice application of second amendment rights

[Panzerlied]

That does underscore the "Honeydo" list.

WOW... Nice... Magazines... Yeah, that's it... Magazines...

"piercing report".
My Browning, Jennings and Ruger Single-Six .22s are like popping bubble-wrap.

That has gotta be a typo. Maybe they serve caviar and congac at the firing points?

The city probably makes it jump through every bureaucratic hoop and charges exorbitant fees. It always struck me as being very working class.

Chicks with gun? Here are my two favorites.

Here's one of mine ;>)

These 'chicks' also have good taste in weaponry.

I got to do the dishes and can never get to fishin' now that the Mrs has learned to shoot her gun

I've been working on and selling guns for 30 years. My adult daughters both shoot and hunt. My wife can hit what she is aiming at each and every time.
There has never been a trigger made that is gender sensitive. My 10 year old son can hold a good group at a hundred yards.

"Sawdey, who lives in the Bronx and has three young sons at home, does not own her own firearm and is not a member of the NRA, whose politics she said she did not agree with"

I don't like the NRA's efforts to protect my ability to shoot?

A 22 rifle! Good grief. Get those women a real gun. I shoot a 357 Magnum (Ruger). I also have a little 22 Baretta. Of the two, I prefer the 357. I LOVE Coal Creek Armory!
