Men tend to think they know a lot more about shooting than they actually do. Women tend to be more receptive, especially if they are new shooters. There is also an ego component involved. This is very obvious if they are training with a spouse/significant other. They often feel a need to "demonstrate their prowess" if a wife/girlfriend is present. The ones that I find most annoying are the ones who want to "coach" their wives and try to tell them how to shoot. I have no problem telling them to go away and let their wives shoot without their "advice".

    It is not at all unusual for a "new" female shooter to outshoot the guy who talks her into going to the range.
    I agree with that. Especially with the shotgun, I couldn't stand/hold it like he was telling me to, it felt uncomfortable/unnatural so, I developed my own, I still had control of the gun, it wasn't unsafe, so, he said, "whatever works for you."

    We've had German Shepherds for over 40 years, this one is our 5th.

    I bought it from a local small shop here. It's an "Atchisson 22cal conversion". It's basically a replacement bolt carrier group. I haven't tried it yet.

    I see kits online. The size of the mag that comes with, seems to be the main price difference.
