I think you are on to part of why women often become better shooters on the first trip to the range. I think the rest is the lack of preconceived notions. They go in accepting that they don’t know how to shoot and hence listen to everything you tell them. Men often believe they already know the business, especially if they don’t.
I’ve taught a lot of people how to shoot and the women often and up surprisingly good by the end of their first trip to the range.
I couldn't agree more.
