Maybe this will shed some light..There are tons of female gun owners and more and more are taking up the sport of shooting at the gun range.

middleground	Hey Sue it was one of your posts that made me mention to my wife how so few women are interested in audio and, for some reason, I mentioned that I know of only two on AA and that I was sure more of you gals were interested in guns than sound systems.

J.Mac Audiophile Posts: 3553 Location: Colorado Joined: November 6, 2002	Maybe 1000 times as many women into guns as into audio.

I'll go for 10,000 times more! :-)) Only in America, though - here in Oz, i suspect the numbers would be even. Regards, Andy

Good one, Sue. :-))

There's only 4 of you Venusians here that I'm aware of:
* you,
* Teresa,
* kuma
* and last but by no means least (in the grumpy stakes) ... Elizabeth! :-))

BTW, not sure if it ever made it across the 'pond' but there was a delightful English TV show called "Grumpy Old Women" - which was a panel discussion by oldies such as that well-known ratbag, Germaine Greer. :-)) (Not sure who copied who but there was also "Grumpy Old Men".)

Regards,

Andy

J.Mac Audiophile Posts: 3553 Location: Colorado Joined: November 6, 2002	Well, I was being conservative. :) I've never in my life met a single woman who was into audio systems. Outside of a couple that I've seen at a few audio shows. And I could probably count those on my fingers.

I think HiFi OUGHT to be shown in public than hidden in a dedicated audio room behind closed doors.

are into guns than all the women in the other 49 are into this hobby. Just my guess.
