Matching Shoes, Handbag And Handgun
CNN has a video report about the increasing numbers of women who are buying and training with handguns . One (male) instructor interviewed for the story says the women are better students than men are because they have better hand-eye coordination and they listen to instruction. Part of the segment is devoted to video training that mimics real world scenarios, not just paper target shooting.
I'm not surprised at all that women are very good with guns, by the way. My 15-year old daughter can literally draw a smiley face on the head of a silhouette target with a .22 caliber pistol. That is a little disconcerting to watch, trust me. She also always double-taps when she is shooting and the bullets punch holes that often make one oblong hole.
I try to stay on her good side.

Don’t let her read the Sherlock Holmes stories, or she’ll start writing "VR" on the wall with bullet holes!
