Scary

Went out to our local range to practice for the National shoot for next week.
Wind about 15 mph and gusty. Temp. 70. What I saw was enough to scare me.
Wife shot 7 tens at 50 yds in a row. The 10 ring is only about 3 inches dia. She
Then post this target and shoots a 90 X. The one with the 7 tens scored a 96 XX
It had some other stuff on it, so I am showing this one. But 7 tens in a row !!!
Unless you have shot this target you don't know how hard that is to do. My very
Best was 5 in a row at 50 yds. I wound up with a 93. She is un-real.



OK, This is how the 7 shots in the 10 ring went.

That's just a matter of time Wayne. Shot the revolver yet? There is a couple of things she won't sell. Her daughter and her guns.
I don't know where I stand in all of this. I'm afraid to ask.

I think a lot of women could be excellent shooters if inclined. Target shooting was a big sport in the late 1800's-early 1900's time frame and a lot of them are women. Annie Oakley's husband and manager was was marksman in his own right before he met her. He deferred his own career to promote her because she was a better shot and the fact it made better showmanship.

Be afraid. Be very afraid.

I have found that novice women shooters can often outshoot men. I have seen this several times (but not all the time) when it came to training people on handguns. Women, if properly instructed, listen and follow instructions. Men, on the other hand, pick up a lot of junk from the media and don't listen because they know already.

Historically, frontier women have been known to pick up the firelock to defend home and hearth. Today's Sally Shooter had her antecedents in Annie Oakley and those before her.

Having shot some good scores myself, I can commiserate...it IS exhausting work. I'm mentally wrung out after a good score.
