The reverse doesn't seem to be true, unfortunately---there have been a couple of cases in which she got a new gun, but I didn't. :(
And when she moved to Limited-10 (and now to Open) suddenly we need more reloading done, and new components, etc....
[sigh]
Yes, my wife shoots a bigger gun than I do. And it holds more bullets. And costs WAAAAAAYYYYYY more.

Another victim of women's Lib. This is so sad to witness. :(

If you don't feel comfortable enough shooting to shoot a match, contact me and I'll take you to the range to help you GET comfortable. This is an offer from ME - not from our shooting classes. While I think everyone should take all of our classes, I understand the discomfort of being a new female shooter. I'd gladly spend a couple of hours with any female to help her get more comfortable so that she can join us for the matches! :)

I think that is an excellent offer.
In my opinion, I think men like to compete more than women. In golf ( yes, I futilely chase a little white ball around green grass regularly) men will outnumber women in tournaments, like here.
My wife started shooting with me this year, (hooray!) but says she has no interest or intention to shoot in competition :'(
OnTheFly:
Men also can't help poor on the machismo bravado when they are around women. I was crewed with a new hire female pilot a few years ago. I watched throughout the week as male pilots from our company came up and reverted to their teen years with all sorts of sophomoric comments.

Ah, but has she shot a steel challenge match yet? Because competition or not, it is FUN to shoot steel! :)
