Trendy Women Shoot Guns Too

via Breda

The New York Post reports on what the cool gals are up to these days.

In strappy sandals and a flouncy blue dress, the pretty Demetria Chappo couldn’t look more out of place with a rifle in her hand. As she aligns her arms, positions her head and straightens her back, she goes through a mental checklist to ensure her body is in proper position.

Then she takes a deep breath and pulls the trigger.

A second later — smack! — her bullet hits the bull’s-eye.

“It disturbs me to say it, but it felt pretty natural and organic,” says the 33-year-old Boerum Hill resident, who is a marketing consultant, ceramic artist, longtime yoga enthusiast and now, amateur markswoman. “It’s similar to yoga in a lot of ways. You have to be grounded and targeted — for lack of a better word — which is the same way I feel when I’m working on a yoga pose.”

What Breda said was pretty interesting.

I feel so cool now. So...validated.

(I'm kidding.)

Now we knew right away that she was kidding because what validates trendy Breda is her nearly-all-male commentariat.

What do you think? After years of claiming that there are more and more women shooting guns, is it finally starting to catch on?  Or is this still wishful thinking to somehow offset the comical stereotype?

Please leave a cmment.
