It may come as a surprise, but lots of women own guns. Many of them can shoot quite well, and more than a few can run loops around their male contemporaries.
I teach quite a few, and it’s often a refreshing experience. Women are more open to criticism, they’re better listeners and eager learners. They’re genuinely concerned with safety and technique, and they don’t generally have any pre-formed misconceptions about what shooting “should” entail.
This isn’t exclusively a man’s world anymore, and we’re all the better for it.
