Brent, you Iowans are on to something. We had seven-time world and Olympic champion Susan Nattrass running a university sports program here for years. It didn't translate into greater interest among females and males.

From my experience with scads of young people, females have shown more interest, stick-with-it than males but I think the attraction is competition, and the females excel at competition. Shooting anything with feathers, no way.

Iowans obviously introduced shooting properly.
