    "Oh not much at all" she would say.

    Took her to Angeles today. Went to the rifle side to zero a new scope. When I came back, she already shot through half the ammo!

    Then she took the newly scoped rifle from me, shot a couple of hundred rounds and declared that she likes HER new rifle!

    I think I created a monster! Shoes and purses are cheaper than ammo!

      Mine not yet but she wants to go to the range with me now that I have an 22/45 and will be getting my (our) 10/22 out of jail on Sept 21st .. one thing about her, when she starts doing something and likes it she invests the time to do it well .. I hope it clicks with her because I enjoy her company ..

        My wife goes to the range with me several times a year---she has three guns of her own---a little Walther TPH 22, a Ruger Security Six 4" and the gun she really concentrates on; her Kahr CW9. She also spends a lot of time with my old Remington Nylon 66 in 22lr.

          My wife likes to shoot, and just about anything. Problem is usually time. She has a lot going on. But the next time I go out I know she will be coming along.

              My wife is making me buy her a revolver when I come home on R&R. She first got into shooting after I bought her a Sig Mosquito with a pink lower for her b-day. For any of you having trouble getting your wife to shoot, I highly recommend something girly in a small caliber.... lol

                My wife started with my .22 AR upper. It's now "hers". She has tried 9mm,
                .45ACP and .308 but I think her main preference was my buddies .22lr bolt-action savage. She's a big fan of the bolt guns.

                I mean, who needs to dive bomb when SHTF? That only happens in movies.

                  Wife shoots IDPA with me as much as she can (when we can get a babysitter). She is slated to go to the front sight 4 day class in the spring. She's a good shot, hasn't won any matches at IDPA yet, but she is moving up the list. She outscored 5 other people last meet but still running the rear of the pack.

                    My wife learned to shoot a 1911 at 8 years old from her grandfather. Once he died when she was 12, she stopped shooting ............. fast forward too 2008 and out of the blue she says she wants a handgun

                    Neither of us had shot in years ( 30+) so it really has been a wonderful re-acquaintance to shooting. We both went out at the end of July with my new birthday present (22/45 bull barrel ) and it was a real challenge to get it away from her i had to promise to get her one of her own.

                      My fiancee really enjoys the m1 garand I have, she probably has more rounds through it then I do. Recently I picked up a HK93 clone, that's her new favorite because its so cheap to shoot.

                        My wife/best friend shoots everything with me! Upland hunting, Cowboy Action Shooting, Sporting Clays, Bianchi cup...has all her own guns as well...
                        TURNING and turning in the widening gyre
                        The falcon cannot hear the falconer;
                        Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;
                        Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,
                        The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere
                        The ceremony of innocence is drowned;
                        The best lack all conviction, while the worst
                        Are full of passionate intensity.

                          My wife has a CCW and I have fewer guns than I had before. She just requalified for her two year renewal and out shot all the males in her class. I know better than to shoot against her.

                            My wife is a darn good shot. She is my best shooting buddy, and I'm real proud of her! The GP is her newest toy.

                              Mine's a decent shot. Mostly with .22s, and usually in no rush. Give her a Ruger Single Six and a box of MiniMags and she's all set.

                                My wife owns several of her own, shoots everything but the .44, has her carry permit.
