I saw recently (don't know where) that Jarrett has begun making his own 1911's and will be hawking them rather than for Para USA.  Don't quote me, please!

She will, besides her good looks, those competitors of you out there who watch her, she's got it, not good for a girl, she is a great shooter, period. I predict will outshine Julie Golob, pretty quick, no offense to her, she is a great shooter too, maybe they will bring each other to another level. I like that.

I too have my hopes up for Randi Rogers, no slouch, and coming from the top of CAS shooting, takes a big learning curve, beyond shooting ability, some types of shooting is a game, and you need to learn the game to be competitive. USPSA, does not reward accuracy all that much in the match over speed, and the difference needs to be learned to win.

My best to all of the Women shooters.

I told my girl I'd leave her for Jesse.

I have a question that our competitive shooters might be able to answer.

Why are there a man's and a woman's league in shooting?  Does greater strength/endurance become more significant than shooting skill?  Or is shooting skill itself affected by gender?

I think it is a hold over from the days when women did not compete against men, like in golf or tennis .
