The last few years I have seen more and more women out training dogs, grouse hunting and pheasant hunting. Recently I read that women are the fastest growing segment of both clay shooting and hunting.

Good Hunting,
Mike

She may not have been the greatest beauty, but Plinky Topperwein was a woman that could really shoot.



Here is a little video about her and the Winchester Model 1890 rifle --

but I most admire her trap shooting skills with the Model 97 and Model 12.
