Mothers and sisters would get to try their hand at the same rifles the boys were using. Naturally, there was a competitiveness there, and more often than not the young men were outshot by their female family members. When, inevitably, I would see them in shock that they had been outdone I would simply say "you see what happens when you listen to what I tell you about technique?"A lot of women in my area (best deer hunting in Ohio) hunt deer and turkey.
I'd wager 50-60% of our female populace is proficient.
My 62 yr. old mother is a dead shot and always carries.
My dad was a cop and taught her to shoot a pistol, after she was held-up as a cashier.
