Susan Nattrass, Olympic trap shooter

Megan Tandy, Team Canada Biathlon

...to name a few. Canada also has some very talented IPSC women, but IPSC folks tend to be famous only among IPSC folks

And, the infamous Myriam Bedard.

And Linda Miller.
"Linda Miller has considerable experience in international small-bore target shooting as a member of Canada's Shooting Team. She won medals at the 1993 Mexico World Cup, the 1994 Commonwealth Games and the 1995 Cuba World Cup. In 1999, Linda became the first woman to win the Ontario Lieutenant Governor's Medal for full-bore shooting."

I knew it... no offense but I should have specified that I'm looking for females that are currently active shooters... not from 30 or 20 years ago...

I know there are IPSC female shooters but I don't have names...

sDot: Exactly. I shoot IPSC, and know a short handful of women shooters, but can't name any CAS or IDPA women (and damn few men, for that matter). Each group is pretty insular. The few folks who participate in more than one specialty are looked upon with confusion or ridicule.

There was 'machinegun Molly" but that was too long ago, then again it wasn't really a sanctioned event.

Sorry about offtopic here, but is there the same G.D. McKillop, many IPSC competitors know?

Sarah Lao (Ont and Canada lady's Standard champ since 2007) is a 3rd generation shooter. Her father is still shooting with us and grand father passed away last year after contributing many years to IPSC.

Article mentions Sarah Lao competing against Team Glock lady shooter:

While many Canadians have done well at matches outside of Canada (Area and State Championships) I think the only two names that have significant accomplishments on an International level are Kerry Lathwell (won the Ladies World Shoot and US Nationals) and Doni Spencer (won the US Nationals).

 

[Shelldrake]

Yes,, that would be George.
