| Great job! Getting a spouse to enjoy a hobby with us is a win-win! Kids too. Just last week, one of my daughters had brought a new friend over that is into firearms. She reveled in telling the story about kicking an ex-boyfriends' ass at the dueling tree when I took them to the range. She went on, "I was pretty good, and my dad took us to the range all the time, so I used to practice a lot". The seriousness in which she said it made me proud. Apparently the lessons stuck.

| Awesome. My wife likes to shoot and is pretty good. It has to be perfect weather though… so she rarely shoots

| That’s wonderful! Just be prepared, lol, it might get expensive now around your place….  I’m a bad influence, just ask my hubby as I love shopping for new toys, or going to the range. |

That's fantastic. My wife is not there yet. She still afraid of firearms from all the years of Hollywood brainwashing. She accepting of me owning them but won't touch them.
That was my scenario about 10 years ago. I took her and my daughter to my range and put them in the NRA Classroom. They took them out to the range and they a) got over their fear B) became shooting addicts.

| What ever you do don't ever take her to a shotgun range to shoot a bit of Trap or Skeet. Because once she finds out how much more fun shooting at moving targets is you'll be on the trail of purchasing a 30,000 dollar Kreighoff K80 just for her.
I've stopped counting.

Congratulations! Tried that, but when Candy Cane finished her act on the main stage pole and then came over and sat on my lap, well, we won't be going back. Lets just say I'll have to go back to my hobby by myself..... |

| My wife used to be antigun. I fixed that. She’s still not really into guns or shooting, but I still consider it a win.

| Congratulations. I’ll never forget the first time I watched my wife knock down a pheasant. |
