I definitely do not feel as intimidated anymore when I am faced with new situations that I may feel uncomfortable in. Having confidence in oneself is key to succeeding and learning in life, and shooting has definitely given me a lot of confidence. I have also learned that stereotypes can be proven wrong, nothing is set in stone on what I can and can not
