I don't think this is the case; I
do think a female shooter is often easier to train than a male shooter and is more likely to listen to advice, so they often end up being better shooters as a result. But I don't think it has anything to do with natural talent, I think it's simply a social issue.
In my experience, many men who go shooting aren't interested in getting advice on how to be a better shooter. Shooting is often seen as a "manly" thing, and too many men don't want to admit they don't know what they're doing. At the LGS/range where I used to work, I can't tell you how many times I saw a man acting like he was an expert shooter who obviously had very little idea on how to shoot a gun properly.
But, in my experience, women are more likely to admit they don't know what they're doing and be willing to take advice. And when someone is willing to take advice on how to be a better shooter, they're more likely to become a better shooter.
