This has been my experience, same with bluewater fishing, I can teach a novice woman how to fight a big fish from stand-up, she can do it twenty minutes. A linebacker sized guy, without the technique, takes an hour, he's sacked afterwards, she catches five more. Not born thinking she already knows what to do.

Back to the shooting however, and hunting in general. Presently reading ALL of Selous's books, rarely does a year pass, without some mention of a hunter or tracker gone wrong, either from his own mis-judgement, a bad shot, or just bad coincidence/timing. Times haven't changed much, we are just so much more aware worldwide now.

Hell, when a hippo off's a native, it's not news, just MMBA. When a ele or buff stomps a PH, well, that's news, we don't expect that now do we?

Plenty of male shooters of all sizes that are scared of or unable to shoot a big bore competently and comfortably and equally plenty of petite women who can......... it isn't about sex or size, it's about ability and no shooter should ever saddle themselves with a calibre they can't handle........ better to shoot a smaller bore well than a bigger bore badly.

The late Kay Hiscocks weighed about the same as wet tea cloth and yet could shoot a .458 Lott extremely well and what's more, could shoot it all day, every day.

I'll add that from my experience, many women are far better shots than men are........ My own better half once shot no less than 6 impala (for baits) for me in one afternoon and all were shot precisely under the chin and none closer than 260 metres. Smiler


Yup! I'll second that! No ego or nutsack to get in the way, just application and they are away.
