[QUOTE="Annie, post: 3010718, member: 42224"] I will be forever grateful that my husband didn't treat me like I would be somehow fundamentally flawed at shooting just because I am a woman. I shot my first IPSC match almost a month to the day he FINALLY convinced me shooting could be fun (which, ironically was after taking me bitching and pissing and moaning and groaning, to an IPSC match #youbdon'tknowwhatyoudon'tknow). Before then when we went to the range I took a book -- or visited with the range guys like Harry out at Canadian Valley or Dean and Paul (RIP, my friend) at H&H. Actually, this is all John Bent's fault ... and a bunch of other guys out there that day who didn't treat me like I was any less capable than they were. When I worked at the range there was a Navy guy who's wife owned a .44 Mag. She was a t-tiny little thing but she was damned fine shot. Hell, I never even fired a .22 (some because we didn't own one, and some because of all the goobers who would give me "that" look when I pulled something else -- usually SEVERAL something elses-- outta my gun bag when we went to the range) to practice. That attitude isn't nearly as pervasive as it was when I shot all the time (yeah I'm an old fart), but it's still out there. Sad thing is the guys who act like that are the ones who are missing out. I can't even tell you how many times I'VE been the one who spent money we shouldn't have on this gun, that gun ... or ammo ... or reloading stuff ... Jeez, Dave Ramsey would be so ashamed!! Lol [/QUOTE]
