I can understand why the SAS would prefer a predominantly female shooting event.
My short daughter (5’ 10”), I stopped delineating by age when the girls passed 30, likes to shoot. We would occasionally rent time at the Attleboro range as it was closer to here house that BR&P. On one occasion we shared the range with US Coast Guard and US Customs. She did poorly that day. I asked why and she said there was too much testosterone in the room.
Jenn has shot in the CMP at BR&P and done well, and does well on the indoor pistol ranges but even she, and she is a strong willed person that you would be ill advised to mess with, can on occasion feel uncomfortable in a male dominated area. I would imagine that some women, not used to firearms in what could be perceived as a male bastion, would feel, for lack of a better word, intimidated. I think we men should cut SAS some slack. It is women that generally control whether or not their children will enter into a sport. They aren’t called soccer moms without reason. The more women that feel comfortable with firearms, the greater the chance of preserving this great sport and our 2nd amendment rights.
