Revealing The Secret World Of Female Hunters (Cont)

Revealing the secret world of female hunters...

*  Just like male hunters, female hunters use a variety of rifles, shotguns, muzzleloaders, compound bows, and crossbows.  We all have our favorites for very different reasons.

Although I have experienced some issues with the length of pull, most of the women have not.  It is an easy fix, but definitely something to consider if you are purchasing your first rifle.  Women's arms tend to be shorter than men's.  Therefore, the length of pull is shorter as well.

Rifles you purchase over-the-counter are, generally, made for men.  There are stocks you can purchase with a custom length of pull, or you can take that over-the-counter stock to a gunsmith and have it adjusted.

*  Traditionally, hunting clothes and gear were designed for men.  There is a current trend to offer hunting clothes and gear specifically for women.  Interestingly, most of the women responding to the questionnaire prefer men's items, finding them more comfortable and roomier.
