[QUOTE="SigInBoots, post: 2061482, member: 17769"] I'd love to have a legitimate statistic to back me up, but I've heard from several sources that women tend to be better shooters right out of the gate than men are. Those of us who weren't raised around guns also don't tend to have an overconfidence about them. We understand that they can be dangerous and begin learning about them with the idea in mind that we would really rather not shoot ourselves or anyone else. There's a sort of caution about them, then, that men don't always display (even if they have the good sense to actually treat guns with caution and respect). We also, as a sex, tend to prefer to "get things right" (ever tried to tell one of us that we're wrong about something? How did that work out for you?) and so are careful with guns at every step along the way in the learning process. [/QUOTE]
