Yeah, well, I guess my wife is the exception that proves that rule.

Acquisition of marksmanship and gun handling skills through basic law enforcement training in an American police department
Michael T. Charles and Anne G. Copay
In order to evaluate the marksmanship skills and gun handling skills that could be learned through the basic law enforcement firearms course, the skills of 216 inexperienced shooters (185 men and 31 women) were measured before and after the basic law enforcement firearms course. The marksmanship test consisted in shooting 14 rounds from a distance of 15 yards. The gun handling test consisted in loading the handgun, unloading the handgun, and clearing a type 3 malfunction. The marksmanship scores signify- cantly improved after the firearms course (from 43.46 to 106.86 points) but the women’s scores were significantly lower than the men’s scores both before and after the course. Recruits significantly reduced the time needed to load the weapon (from 27.17 to 9.12 seconds), to unload the weapon (from 15.48 to 3.84 seconds), and to clear the malfunction (from 30.13 to 11.05 seconds) but women took more time than men to clear the malfunction. The content of the basic firearms course is presented, the validity of law enforcement firearms training is discussed, and recommendations are made in order to improve training.

new numbers in Canada show that we have more women in universities than men....and they also tend to do better in acedemics...

maybe women are smarter than men i am afraid so..

It can vary from person to person, some women will take to shooting like a duck to water, others will flinch and pull away when they pull the trigger as they don't like the bang, such is life.

i have also heard that women was a better shot than men from my captain.
Can't quite remember why dohhhhhhh.....
