BREAKING NEWS!!!! Women shoot well.
That's no news to me...That is my expectation
After doing this teaching thing for a while now I must say that women shoot very well on average and learn much more quickly than men. Thank you for this as you make my job easier!
I have seen really incredible groups shot on targets by women who had never even touched a firearm. I am having a great time being a minor part in this - Keep it up!

Most popular calibers of female Mobile Marksman students are currently 9mm, .38 Special and .45 ACP.
