Woman wins national rifle championship
This is kind of cool.

Link

<snip>

The 21-year-old soldier is the first woman in the 100-year history of the matches to win the trophy awarded to the service rifle (now a M-1, M-14 or M-16) shooter with the highest aggregate score over the entire championships.

2. best shot sice annie oakley
as a vestige of my nra days, i still think everybody ought to at least have a nodding acquaintance with firearms.

i quit nra because they became an arm of the repuke party and wandered from shooting and gun safety.

3. Same reason I bailed on the NRA
Along with the VPC, the NRA has become the PeTA of the gun issue.

4. I believe women are far better shots than men
but guns are MADE FOR MEN and so give men the competitive edge in shooting contests.
