My Wife doesn't care to shoot...but my Daughter has been shooting since she was 9 years old.
Has had her Carry License for 13 years now. We don't get to shoot together nearly as much these days since she is all grown up and 'Travel Nursing' but she was home recently and we had an opportunity to shoot her .45acp I got her for her Birthday. She actually owns more pistols than I do.
But when she was still a teenager and living at home we practiced regularly on my range. She used to take delight in beating me (most days) on the race rack, the 9" steel plates and Pepper Poppers. Despite my having shot all of my life and participated in a lot of IDPA and IPSC....
you shouldn't underestimate the 'Girls'.They typically have better fine motor skills, usually have good hand/eye coordination and are inherently more 'teachable' than most males since they don't bring a bunch of bravado and "I already know that-ism" to the shooting range.
I have trained hundreds of people over the years (including my Daughter) and if you give me 10 each (men and women) with no prior experience, I will have 'most' of the women out-shooting the men in the first 2 hours of instruction. That's not to say that the men won't go on to eventually become better overall shooters, but only because they stick with it. But the men are SO less trainable than the women.
Of the one's I have trained....I can tell you that I wouldn't want 90% of them shooting at ME.
