    Just the females? Doesn’t seem equal. Edit: y’all get sarcasm, right?

      Women are welcome to compete in the open division (mens). But they wont even qualify.

        Except when they do, then the ISSF & IOC eventually ban them from participating in Olympic skeet.

        Just ask Zhang Shan!

          Yes, that’s just silly. Especially if there aren’t any handicaps given like standing closer, e g. how they mix compete in golf.

          Any non-physically demanding sport should be open contest.

      Olympic performances differ by gender : they are not equal either. (…and yes, i know you are joking)
