I have heard the same thing about shooting in the military. On my shooting team as a kid allot of the females were able to master shooting more efficiently then the new male shooters on the team, at least the basic concepts-muscle relaxation breath control body positions. There is no replacement for experience. How ever most the females on my team burnt out on the sport pretty quickly and consequently lost interest-adolescences. I think a lack of interest and real concentration could be blamed on the amount of failures. Just my 2cents flame on

^^That's true.

no no, the bullets shoots better becuz its a lady that gave the order

The bullets are practicing affirmative action.

Men aren't shooting better because of this PC guns are bad deal. If you start young, you'll shoot better. I sure did. I started shooting at a early age. And when I enlisted, I scored expert in both pistol and rifle.

In Australia, only women are employed by the Mint to examine new sheets of money notes, as they are understood to be better than men at spotting printing distorions, errors, bad colours, etc. If true, then their femm gifts in the eye-sight department might explain why some hold them to be better marksmen. Then again, how do we explain why they are poorer drivers than men and why in this activity their super-eyesight lets them down?

Having coached a number of females in our Army I have found they do not come to the firing line with a lot of preconceived bull about shooting, they are more prepared to listen to what they are told and therefore they apply the marksmanship principles taught to them and shoot well.

On the civilian side I know of a number of very good female shooters, all proven winners in a national or international forum.

On both sides there are those who play helpless fluttering their eyelashes thinking that will get them bullseyes. At least the soldiers you can face rip, the civi's just get ignored.

I would really like to link a soldiers pay to his marksmanship ability.... it would certainly refocus a number of individuals.

how young are we talking..any specific age range ??

It is along the same lines as someone that has never fired a rifle before .. they are generally easier to instruct than someone that has grown up firing rifles since they were "knee high to a grasshopper." They do not have as many bad habits to break or misconceptions in knowledge to reteach. It is far easier to work with a blank slate than it is to write over a full one.

As a generality, women are easier to instruct than men .. they tend to be more open minded, are less likely to 'tinker,' and do not feel the need to bluster as much.

There are, of course, exceptions to every rule.

Then again, how do we explain why they are poorer drivers than men and why in this activity their super-eyesight lets them down?

I do not know that women are "poorer" drivers than men, but women tend to have less aggressive driving styles. Males tend to have more accidents, especially during the younger years.
