Yes, my wife never heard it.
Follow Ups:
My wife never shot a rifle in her life. She was very, very good with a pistol, took part in many matches with me, but never tried a rifle.
One day the little bastard was going about his nasty business or ravishing her garden. I kept a .22 Savage rifle with a scope by the kitchen window for such events.
Anyway... her first and only rifle shot hit him squarely in the head.
It is pretty amazing how accurate a good 22 rifle can be with good quality ammo that the rifle likes. I have an Anschutz rifle that with the proper ammo shoots 10 shots at 50 yds and easily cover the hole with a dime. And that's with me shooting. I have a cataract in my right eye that needs fixed, so I couldn't come close to doing that today.
In good hands they do miracles. But that takes tons of practice and specialty equipment like special target ammo, stiff leather jackets, glasses, etc.I have never been a great rifle shooter, just average, I guess. With pistol I was very good in practical shooting, not bull's eye.

I wouldn't consider myself a great rifle shooter, just competent at best. And am just average with a handgun.
I think it's great that you did competitive shooting with your pistol. To me that would require much more practice and dedication than a rifle.
My Anschutz likes Lapua Center X the best of all I have tried.
Rifle shooting is just as challenging, I think, but it has different criteria in ITS OWN sport.
These two rarely cross their ways, but it happened in IPSC, which used to be the pistol only sport.
Maybe 10 years ago they introduced the pistol caliber carbines into the competition, and the carbine shooters quickly began to occupy the top lines in the combined results. Their shooters tended to be quicker and more accurate.
So much so that the moved the former kings - the Open gun shooters. I guess the longer barrels, more stability and less muzzle flip were among the things that helped them.
