She must enjoy it in many shooting positions. You get more women involved in the rifle culture by providing something that fits them. The introduction of the “Youth Model” brought women and youngsters into the fold. Women carrying rifles in the military and their increasing number as hunters made the firearms industry look at smaller versions of their product. The firearms industry eventually realized they’d overlooked a large segment of the population. It only becomes one when she’s sitting long hours in a blind, in a tree stand or in a prone position. Holding, carrying and using the rifle for game or sport is not a consideration at this point. What is looked at is the appearance, the caliber, and perhaps the accessories. When rifles are purchased by or for women today, little thought is given to her comfort. Women learned and used rifles designed for men. Even as women entered military service or law enforcement, the woman’s rifle had not even been a consideration. In those instances, the women disregarded pain and discomfort in the use of the rifle as they had no choice. In history, women only used them when necessary such as the killing of game or self-preservation. They were often too heavy, too long or too bulky. Rifles were not naturally designed to fit a woman’s body.
With these differences in mind, the rifle must fit the lady. The recoil of a rifle affects us more than men. We’re not as strong nor do we have the muscle mass in our shoulders. The length of our arms corresponds to our heights which are generally shorter. With rare exception, women are smaller boned.
