Why? Because women don't see as well?

I'm probably going to dig myself a grave here and open a can of worms on myself. But I have had women (who usually the ones who are only there because of their husband/boyfriends) who just break down on the range out of pure nervousness. Shaky hands, tears, the whole works. I have had women friends tell me that they wont take the class because of how scared they are of the shooting portion. One who would only take the course if they had the shooting portion one on one at a later time. I have held private or very small group classes due to peoples nervousness about the test. I have had a older guy when the target got passed a certain distance that the sights just became a blob to him who only passed due to his hits on the 3 and 7 yards lines. Its always carry some tape with me when I teach because of the amount of lasers i cover. Some of the ladies in my family refuse to shoot anything if it doesn't have a red dot on it. This is all anecdotal of course but I do wonder if a red dot and/or laser usage would help out a lot of people.

Open sights.
