Top shooter in Canada’s military has a long red ponytail and says women shoot better because they’re less stubborn
In keeping with a longstanding tradition of Canadians being unusually good at shooting things, a Victoria reservist has claimed the title as one of the world’s top military shooters.
Sgt. Tatyana Danylyshyn outshot several hundred competitors to top her class at the Bisley shooting competition, an annual event in the U.K. that has been dubbed the “Olympics” of military rifle shooting.
As a Canadian Forces press release noted, “her top shot placing was in the service rifle category of the Army Reserve Operational Shooting Concentration.” While other soldiers may be better with a pistol or a sniper rifle, Danylyshyn, 29, effectively ranks among Canada’s best reservists at wielding a military assault rifle.
“It seems to be going well,” said Danylyshyn, 29, a member of the Canadian Scottish Regiment and a veteran of the War in Afghanistan.

I don't know if the word is stubborn. It has been my experience that women pay closer attention and come to training with a blank slate ready to learn. Too many men arrive with a little training and a lot of ego. If your attitude is " I know it all already" you are not going to learn much. Failure is also a big part of the learning curve. You must be able to learn and improve from that failure point to really progress. A large ego and machismo is not conducive to learning from failure.

Yeah. I am doing to cache this with other great topics such as how PT Belts make you safer and the such.
I will just say being shooter is more than just hitting a target. If you are getting shot at being stubborn might be a benefit. Just because you can drive straight really well doesn't mean a thing when you hit the highways in LA.
