Don't forget the daughters, granddaughters, and great granddaughters. It would be something to see one beat the boys. They are very important to the survival and future of shooting, guns, and collecting as you know. I have no daughters but lucky to have four granddaughters that I let shoot every chance I can. But they like girl things too much.

Very well said Jerry!

I know it was not intentional to leave the ladies out... it's just force of habit.
But I live it every day. I have a wonderful wife who enjoys being with all of our shooting friends. I have two daughters who were brought up in a family of shooters and hunters and I have three granddaughters who are exposed to this lifestyle.

It would be really cool to see a girl win her class.

Years ago- when I shot a lot of black powder- our club had a kid's event at the annual rendezvous. They shot a flintlock, threw a tomahawk and a knife and some archery targets. One year a young girl, who happened to be a direct descendent of a prominent early settler ran away with the score. The club was thrilled

So was she. First prize each year was an incredible hand built flintlock, with bag and horn She shot that proudly in the monthly matches afterwards
