Hay man,
Everybody thinks they know everything and you know nothing. They are the masters and you are the slave! It life.. Thats why smart people ask questions.
This is how I got my wife (then girlfriend) and my best friends wife to enjoy the world of shooting. Ok I bent alittle. I submitted to her first demand! Made her think I was giving in on the subject. I bought a safe, 100 dollar K-mart brand one!... So now the guns are safe from all (hahahaha).. Now it was my turn!!... Next I gave her a hard time. "I'm going shooting"... She would get pissy. Then I'd ask her to come with me.. For 2 weekends she wouldn't do it. Ok... So this might not be the one. Fine... Maybe she'll get the clue. Then the third weekend came and I was going to be gone for a while.. because I bought 3 cases of clay pigeons and a case of bird shot. Told her I was going again but this time alittle further away. She didnt want me to go again!.. So I asked her again! "Do You Want To Come?" This time she said "Fine.. I'll go you, but know how I feel about this!!!" I said "Yep"..
So we got there and it was a pretty quiet ride... Got it all set up and went to town!.. Well a box of clays later she was out of the jeep!.. "Ok I might have been a little wrong" came out of her mouth!!!! I was shocked... Next thing you know shes holding the gun after 10 minutes of instruction and hands on (non-fire) training shes taking shots at some clays... Well she hit one and that was it. Took her out to dinner.. Made a day of it (kind of like shopping hahahaha). She was going to be on are side. I was determined now ...
Couple of times at the indoor range for some pistol time. You know the temperature controlled ones, that gets them all happy because they arent freezing or boiling. Try to keep them from other girls for the first couple of times though.. because when they see each other they get feminine (I know I didnt spell that right) as hell.. quotes like these pop up "O Its too loud!" , "I dont think I could do this!", and "Is this going to hurt"... Trust me I got those just 7 days after shooting a shotgun! Put her on the 9mm... Leave the 45's home... So keep it cool! No magnum cal's the lower the better for the beginning. Its just like training kids! Plus you want to shoot the same gun. If they see you trying to show off its done!... Stick a fork in it!! They want you to be equal.. So play the mind game!
Expand from there as you see progression. Mine got her girlfriend involved and it be came a weekly thing!... Shooting and Dinner! My weekends have been great ever since.
After 2 years of that all that she goes with me on all my little adventures!... I even have her shooting magnum cal's... she loves my Model 65. I hate it, but she loves it... Go figure!
Give it ago... If that doesnt work... Yahoo Personal's!!!
