At just 90 pounds, petite, golden-haired 17-year-old Michelle Chestnut doesn’t look like someone who would have earned the nickname “The Iron Maiden.” Michelle Chestnut shot a 291, the highest score of the 2011 FCSA World Championship match at the NRA's Whittington Center in Raton, New Mexico, and also the second smallest aggregate of the match of 9.29, both in Unlimited. Michelle shot scores and groups that, if treated as an adult, would have won the Unlimited Agg, Unlimited Score and the Two Gun Aggregate. Michelle was using the TenX 795 grain match bore rider bullet and RWS primers and brass.She took the world championship in 50 BMG last year. Her scores beat most of the adults. She is sponsored by Barrett and Schryver Gun Sales. She is only 17 or 18 but has been competing for several years

Rifle looks like it weighs as much as she does.

That is a girl I wish I was young enough to date!

I love girls with big guns. And that one is a whopper! The .50 BMG sniper rifle is PURE TESTOSTERONE to me! I got to shoot a real Ma Deuce and behind the handles of that thing you feel like GOD! That gun has so many compensator on it though. It probably kicks like a hiccup! Still, anyone who can put the pain on the paint deserves a lot of respect.

That a girl! - The discipline in itself is impressive. To achieve a goal of that magnitude at such a young age is peerless. May her life be as in focus. :smile:
