第二幕：射擊冠軍顧方蓁——美國女子步槍協會專訪

巾幗神槍手顧方蓁的運動事蹟是美國女子步槍協會（NRA Women）製作的《第二幕》專訪系列中的亮點人物，因為她在年過半百之後才拉開射擊生涯的序幕。本篇專訪由芭芭拉．拜爾德（Barbara Baird）負責提問與內容為其執筆。

顧方蓁坦承七十歲後比賽表現一路下滑，但年齡並沒有阻止這位行動手槍射擊冠軍參加挑戰性的比賽；假如年齡是因素，她的訓練方式只是更明智，而不是更吃力。 

Vera holds the record for the most wins by a woman at the NRA National Action Pistol Championships, also known as the Bianchi Cup. She holds multiple national and international titles, including eight 

 women’s titles and two World titles. She was the first woman to place in the overall top 20 at the 2001 NRA Bianchi Cup. 

方蓁保有美國步槍協會全國行動手槍錦標賽（也稱為比安奇盃）中女選手獲勝次數最多的紀錄。她擁有多項美國與國際冠軍頭銜，包括八次比安奇盃女子冠軍頭銜和兩次世界冠軍頭銜；她也是第一位在二００一年比安奇盃進入不分男女排名前二十名的女選手。 

This year, she saw her memoir, 《巾幗槍神　世界冠軍之路》, published by Balboa Press. She is revising the book for a second edition and considering authoring another book. The book details her rise to stardom, but also scenes from her “first act”—as a 12-year-old girl emigrating to San Francisco from China, who falls in love, gets married, has a bustling family and works in real estate development—until the loss of an infant child and a devastating life event involving her relationship with her husband—causes her to seek the solace in and challenges of the shooting sports. Training to become a world-class pistol shooter forced her to focus on becoming a professional athlete, which allowed her to heal and recover, and find her faith.

此刻她正在受訓，為射擊運動中最負盛名的比賽，也就是五月底在密蘇里州哥倫比亞市舉行的全美步槍協會的比安奇盃比賽預訓。方蓁究竟是如何達到這個射擊水平、連連奪得女子組冠軍頭銜呢？以下是她在專訪中的回答： 美國步槍協會婦女分會（以下簡稱槍協婦女分會）：當人問起你從事哪一行時，你怎麼回答？
