Plain target shooting like they do at the summer Olympics is probably the perfect unisex sport. More physical shooting like IPSC/2gun/biathlon absolutely not.
But skeet/trap, 25m pistol, 10m air pistol, air rifle and 300m rifle are all places where women can and do hold their own against men.
The average draw weight of women's olympic bows is 38 pounds, vs 50 for males.
During an Olympic competition day, archers can shoot nearly 100 arrows between scoring and practice ends. They're pulling 38-50lbs, 100 times, with just their fingertips.
And archery is already one of the more gender-equal sports since it doesn’t rely solely on brute force.
