PIRES, Amanda J.  and  STIGGER, Marco Paulo. Women in shooting: ethnographic notes on women's participation in a so-called male practice. Rev. Motriviv. [online]. 2020, vol.32, n.62, e66851.  Epub May 01, 2020. ISSN 2175-8042.  https://doi.org/10.5007/2175-8042.2020.e66851.

In this study, I present a discussion about the participation of women in a sports practice of the gaucho culture, called masculine, the lace shooting. To obtain the data from this research I conducted an ethnographic study, where I participated during a period of rodeos that took place in the North Coast of Rio Grande do Sul and also meetings of a traditionalist entity, in order to approach and accompany women who participated in this particular practice. Throughout the fieldwork I noticed that women are increasingly gaining space within this practice, arousing interest of spectators and making the organization of these events to value the mode of gifts by offering larger prizes to attract the attention of these competitors.

Keywords : Gender; Loop shooting; Women; Rodeos.
