Congrats.
Can, and has she, done such in/on the battlefield being we all know a competition environment is not an actual battlefield environment? Just wondering is all. Well done though.

Well done though.High power matches, or for that matter, most competitive shooting, have very little in common with combat marksmanship, other than the basics. Though someone with increased skill levels will naturally be at an advantage in combat. Still, the level of skill involved at that level of competition takes many years of dedicated training, and very few people will ever reach even a fraction of that skill level.

The USAMU - The US Army Marksmanship Unit - is an official unit within the Army comprised of some of the finest shooters in the world and forms the nucleus of the American Olympic Shooting Team. They are not only top competitors but also a credit to the US with their friendliness and character wherever they are - top drawer folks.

Rumor had it, that the Soviets used women as snipers to great effect.
