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.

I made the exact same observation on both my HS rifle team in which I was a "player/coach" and in the military. A lot of young bucks come with the idea that they just know what they're doing and can't be told otherwise (and a small percentage of them actually do know what they're doing). A lot of time and effort is invested in breaking bad habits. Most female enlistees have never handled a firearm, are mildy apprehensive about shooting, and pay scrupulous attention to their NCOs and trainers and do exactly as they're told.
I'm speaking in broad generalities with a few exceptions in either direction, but as a general rule, you can hang your hat on it.
