My wife was off buying her first gun on the day that I would have met her for the first time. I met her and married her fairly soon after that. I was with her the first time she shot her gun, a Marlin Model 60.
I showed her how to load it, hold it, and aim it. We were shooting at a metal target that rings when you hit it at a friend's property. Her first few shots missed, but I could see where they were hitting. I pointed out to her where she was hitting and before I could start to tell her how to adjust to the target (we hadn't even sighted in the gun yet) she said 'okay' and proceeded to empty the rest of the magazine never missing a shot.
My dad was around the other side of the building behind us and when he heard the hits he came around to make sure that it was me shooting and not her. When he saw it was her his eyes got wide and he let me know exactly how jealous he was, as my mom is not an anti, but definitely not a gun enthusiast.
Now my wife shoots my XDm .40 better than I do as of yet and is talking about what gun we are going to get next.
