...many women are excellent shooters

The differnce in instructing women, is that women acually listen to direction. There's no machismo at all. They are certainly better shots right out of the gate, so to speak.

We have a group at work that got their concealed weapon permit. We spend our Friday lunch hours at the range. Target shooting is a real stress relief. If course, hanging your latest target in your office is intimidating to the boss.......

The bullet exploded out of the barrel, splintering the quietness of the indoor range

A .22?

LOL I hope no one slams a door or they'll all soil their britches from the noise!

Now if they want to hear splintered quietness, stand near my Moisin Nagant when I pull the trigger!!

The Ol’ Mizris has her CWP and took the NRA class for wimmins. She’s a better shot than she thinks she is. I’m really proud of her.

"The bullet exploded out of the barrel"

Gee, I hope nobody was injured by the shrapnel of the exploding bullet!

Sounds like a design or manufacturing defect.

My .22 pistol shoots bullets straight at their target without all that messy "exploding" along the way. Maybe they need to upgrade to a Browning Buckmark!

Or maybe get better ammo?

But that is what happens when drama queens write gun articles.

Mrs. Knitebane too.

Not only am I proud of her, Santa was too.

He brought her this:

Santa brought me a Concealed Carry Permit and a few accessories this year! 22s are fun, but a 40-caliber Glock rocks. ;-)

Don't get me wrong here, I love women who love firearms BUT, “a twenty two bullet EXPLODING out of the barrel” is really grasping for drama. Maybe a 45 or a 357 but a 22, no way.

Yes, it's "drama" - The author is just trying to punch up the story a little.

At a public indoor range a while ago something didn’t seem right. I look behind me and there’s this chick with a Buck Mark.22 ten feet behind me, essentially shooting over my right shoulder. The empties bouncing off of the partition were getting in her hair, which was annoying to her. I am glad that those pistols shoot straight, but the shooters on the other hand...

FTA: many women are excellent shooters

They are certainly better shots right out of the gate,

Women shooters p!$$ me off. More than once I've handed a gun to a woman who had never even SEEN a pistol before and they've out shot me. I'm no pistolero, but I can generally hit mostly what I aim at. It's like voodoo how women can just pick up a handgun and be so capable with it.
