No worries.
My Dad was a keen shooter when he was in the police. He had a marksman grade, in fact. It never really appealed to me as a sport, but I can understand why it would for some.
Peon it's funny. I shoot well. I shoot with people who have been world class marksmen. I shoot well enough to belong in that group. Yet, recently a kid I know brought a girlfriend to meet me. As part of the long weekend I taught her how to load her own ammunition and to shoot. The very first "group" she shot with her own loaded ammo in one of my very accurate rifles was a world class group. I have a picture frame on my wall. In the frame are just various shot groups that deserve to be displayed. Her very first group went into that frame.
I find that the hand to eye coordination necessary to shoot little groups is entirely consistent with how the female brain sees the world. In my life of teaching people to shoot, I've found that women's brains do it best and actually enjoy it most. In my mind, I relate it to something like the hand to eye coordination that is required for needle point sewing. When taught properly, women just seem to enjoy it and are damn good at it.
There is certainly a thought process that enjoys that type of thing. I know many dedicated men in that group. But, frankly, I find it is most natural to a female brain to enjoy the sport.
