That depends on wether it is a military or domestic situation. My vote goes to domestic. They know exactly where to shoot.

I can't answer the poll truthfully with the answers given. I am no expert when it comes to firing a weapon. I have a lot of knowledge in the subject though. I have seen 13 year old girl in a three gun shoot beat grown men! I have also tried to give instruction to a female that was hitting 8 rds out of 40 that would not change how she was shooting but couldn't understand why she wasn't hitting the target! I have also seen the same in males. " Well I have been shooting this way since basic" and I say well it is wrong because you are getting 12 out of 40! So there are both sides of the coin in both sexes! So I guess I will say equals!

It all depends on the person shooting, I personally have never had a woman outshoot me at a range.

I would say Depends, The Soviet Female Snipers in WWII were Pretty Impressive.

There are some women I wouldn't want to get in a firefight with and some I'd feel safer in their line of fire than outside it. Firearm proficiency has everything to do with skill and practice and nothing to do with gender.

Agree. I've come to greatly appreciate the demands of LEO.
I understand close combat but cops have many considerations that military may discount or outright ignore.

All the women I know who shoot are pretty darn good. I am always nice to them because I know how good they are and I do not want to find out who is the better shot; there is always that slim chance I might lose.

Perhaps better marksmanship, how about when in combat, under fire? Never having served in a situation such as that, it's just a question for those that have.

In years passed I served in a hospital Unit with roughly 50/50 men and women. My opinion is that practice makes one at least a better shot regardless of sex. Most of the best shots were experienced shooters, however it is just as important to practice the steady hold and sight picture rules taught in BRM, in order to be a good shot!
