Anyone that messes with her is in for a surprise.
Especially when she can use a 5 gallon bucket as a barricade for cover. In the confusion.....she would shoot ya!
I am going to pay for that....sorry.

I'm not afraid to admit that my wife outshoots me all the time. She's modest about it, but I'd take her covering my six in a firefight any day.

I have to admit. The wife shoots more accurately than me. She has to take her time about it and hasn't got the hang of rapid fire (yet), but in a shot-for-shot comparison she could (and has) beat me.
It's great for the self confidence too :)

Naw, we don't use the "L" word in my home.

Yeah, my daughter kinda balked at that too!
Her real objection though....was that I stapled the target on while she was still wearing the cap.
She seems to think it would have been better to put the target on the cap first.
College kids! They think they're so smart......

Ok, I'll bite as well.
I humbly bow my head and recount to the world that not only did a girl outshoot me with a better time than I had at the Smith and Wesson Winter Championships, but she was also a Junior.
Oh by the way, she outshot a heck of a lot of people to win her classification in her division. (at 16 years old)
For the record, the winners of both the ESP/MM (my daughter) and the winner of the ESP/SS of the S&W Winter Championships for 2007 were estrogen fueled.
Humbled by youth and estrogen

Yup, heres mine:
Had a group of youngsters (12-20 yrs. old) out for a "shoot" one weekend about 5-6 yrs ago.
One of the drills for the more experienced shooters is one I call "shooting the V". It is a transistion drill meant to challenge the shooter by forcing them to "transition" from one target to the next while advancing on the targets.
Five 9" steel plates are set up (on steel rods) in the shape of a "V", the mouth of the "V" is about 10 feet wide.
From hands up, at the buzzer, the shooter must draw, advance toward the targets (never stopping), shoot the first target at the mouth of the "V" then swing to the opposite side, and then back... and so on.
The last target in the center is the stop plate.
A 15 yr. old girl I have worked with in the past... borrowed a friend of mines 5" Springfield in 9mm. She cleared the plates in 4.46 the first time and then backed it up with a run in the 4.20's
After everyone had left for the day, it took me three tries to beat her time.
The next weekend at church...I stopped her and "fessed up", she just giggled a little, but her dad was beaming.

As a certified firearms instructor, I MUCH prefer to teach women. They are excellent students since they have no ego baggage to overcome. They do exactly what the instructor says and usually ending up outshooting the instructor. I would take the previous comment as very high praise.

I WISH I could shoot like Mrs. V!
Here she is in action for any doubters who think those of us who know her are exagerating

Yes Sir!
Nice smooth presentation of weapon, good cadence (equal time between shots), recoil control very good, and reloads were EXCELLENT!
She's a shooter, no doubt about it.
Thats the kind of
"Shoots like a girl" I'm talking about!

Happy dance!
My daughter just came by and said she received her CHL in the mail yesterday.
43 days....is pretty darn fast.
Time for the Wally Walk.
I just know folks are gonna stare when they see that target stapled to her cap though.
