Overheard an interesting discussion in the lunch area at work yesterday. At another table, a guy was talking about weapons and whatnot. Let me start by saying a lot of what he was saying was just untrue craziness but whatever that isn't the point. He did make one comment that got me thinking. According to him, females make better marksman than guys because of what he classified as "built in gun rests" and a wider base.
During my eight and half years of service I been to plenty of ranges and seen plenty of great marksmen both male and female. So I'm not saying that one gender has the advantage over the other. Yet it did get me thinking. Is there any advantage that one gender has over the other? Personally, I would say no, it comes down to your ability to follow the fundamentals. So now I figured it would be a fun discussion to have here on RallyPoint. So, to the RP Community, do you feel that gender plays a role in marksmanship?

In my personal opinion, I believe a majority of it has to do with dedication. My wife kills more deet than I do, because she is more dedicated to putting in the freezer and is still fairly new to the sport, where as I would rather be duck hunting. For me, deer hunting has become easy and not very challenging.

I think the main thing that helps to shoot straight is one the weapon you're using two how much you know about the weapon you're using three a steady hand and four a good eye

I agree. I was be a little sarcastic with my question. I like posting questions to see others responses are. Some are pretty good and make me scratch my head wondering why I didn't think of it that way.

SCPO David Lockwood - And that is what I'm doing here. Just take a look at SGT (Join to see)'s comments. There is a lot of truth about the ability of training someone that is being introduced to a new task for the first time over someone that thinks they are an expert. As well as the role echo may or may not play in all this.
