SO shooter?

[HI express]

How many of you are lucky enough to have your SO shoot with you?

My wife doesn't go with the range with me anymore except when my friends go shooting. She has really great hand and eye coordination and she has outshot almost all of my avid shooter friends.

She started out as not having feelings about guns either way but when I tried to get her to buy a gun she passively resisted for a couple of years. I just let her know when I was going shooting and how much fun I was having, then one day she almost floored me by asking if she could go with me and a friend.

She outshot him...and this has been going on for some 25 years now...she will go when I go with someone that I haven't gone shooting with before and normally she just outshoots them. She doesn't make like she gloats or anything....just generally walks up to the firing line...punches holes in the paper or in the outdoor places, shoots the cans, etc.. goes back quietly back behind the firing line...and waits her turn as she feeds the magazines.

Anyone else?

My girlfriend use to be afraid of guns. But I slowly got her it entertain the idea of going shooting with me. What I totally didn't realize that when you shoot a gun it makes a very loud noise, even when you are wearing hearing protection. She is very very afriad of sudden loud noises. Taking her shooting at the local indoor range is no longer a smart idea, because she gets startled every easily. That said, she really enjoyed shooting my Ruger MKII.

I need to see if the outdoor range is a better enviroment for her.

I shoot about every weekend; about every fourth weekend my sweetie goes with me.

It's very cool to have a shooting buddy. It's less cool when she wants antother $500 pistol, but even that is neat in its own way. It beats the heck out of jewelry, that's for sure.

When you are both handling guns all the time, at the range, at home, and carrying everywhere, well, that's a whole lot of trust in each other's ability and temperment. That's neat.

I talked my husband into joining me at the match on Sunday. He shot really well for a newbie, if a bit slow.

I wish I could get him up to practice more. He just isn't into it.
