In this study, we present a discussion about the participation of women in a sports practice of the gaúcha culture, called masculine, the lace shooting. To obtain the data from this research we conducted an ethnographic study, in which we participated during a period of rodeos that took place on 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 we noticed that women are increasingly gaining space within this practice, arousing interest of spectators and making the organization of these events come to value the modality of gifts by offering larger prizes to attract the attention of these competitors.
