I recently finished a MAG-40 class (http:\/\/massadayoobgroup.com<\/a>) with Wolverine Defense Academy<\/a> in Portage, Michigan just outside Kalamazoo. The two top shooters in the final qualification were both women. I\u2019m a father of daughters, and I just love it when that happens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It seems to be an almost universal observation among firearms instructors that women pick up on shooting faster than men. It seems that better fine motor skills are at work and perhaps greater powers of concentration, and probably more important, there\u2019s no ego investment in a discipline society sees as male-dominated, and they take instruction better.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Congratulations to Heather Reeves and Cassandra Crago, who topped the scores with 300 and 299 respectively out of 300 possible points, on a sixty-shot timed course of fire. Heather, it should be noted, won the shoot-off at Tom and Lynn Givens\u2019 Rangemaster Tactical Conference in Dallas three months ago.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n
