A woman can use any gun a man can.
In most cases, women are better shots than men.

Most of us old sexists blame this on one Phoebe Ann Moses.
it all started when she out shot Frank Butler in a shooting contest in Cincinnati back around 1875. It’s been downhill for us since.

Annie Oakley is one of my daughter’s heroines- mine, too, for that matter! The kid has done research on her life, and is seriously thinking of dressing up as her for Halloween this year. Oh, and she’s shooting pretty well, too (she’s twelve).

My college target riflery instuctor told us that the women in the class were likely to have superior fine motor skills compared to the men, and that the only disadvantage they MIGHT have would be in supporting the relatively heavy rifle in some shooting positions. Then he added that women paid attention to instructions better and almost always had fewer bad shooting habits to "unlearn."

Sure enough, by the end of the term a very petite, soft-spoken girl was outshooting the lot of us.
