Marrage Proposal Idea

[L84CABO]

Yea...like others have said...unless she is REALLY REALLY into guns, I would think about something else. That just doesn't sound like something most women would like.

Are you a good enough shot to spell out "will you marry me?" with bullet holes in your targets?

[Chaos47]

Another vote of no. This (and the Wedding) is (mostly) for her.
Think of something else.

I don't want to poo on your parade, so I'll just say good luck.

:jaded: :cynical:

Do something she thinks is romantic instead.
If you do the gun routine, do it with one shot such as a message behind a big balloon.

not mean to hijack the thread, 40%+ marriages will go south. how will those guys think about their proposal ideas, when they look back?

You might be factually correct, but there's no need to be an @$$h0le when someone is planning to propose to their future wife by bringing this up and implying he's wasting his time.

it is still an important aspect. if not, just be mindful unless you cannot handle the facts. then sorry for that.

Better tie a pull string to the plate in case you miss.

OP, if your gf isn't a shooter (and an action pistolera at that), I think it would be better if you propose in a more traditional sense.

But ya, I can imagine you hosing some paper targets spelling out will "will you marry me", man that would be sick.

I want to be honest. I don't think it's a good idea. I proposed to my girlfriend last summer. We're getting married August 1st. Girls like those romantic proposals because they tell their friends. They get together and discuss these things. Do something for her. Something that will make her feel special and melt her heart. Usually, girls don't associate guns with romance. Like what some of the others have said, the proposal is for her; not you.

If she's a good shot, that balloon idea is pretty cool. Have her take the shot.
But you might want to limit her rounds in case she forgets her muzzle control under all the excitement!

Single shot .22!
Don't want her shooting off his important stuff if she doesn't have discipline.
(Or if she doesn't like the type of proposal.)

You know her best, whatever you feel is right. If that's her pic in your avatar she may not be able to hold a shot timer.

Here's an idea for a macho marriage proposal: Drive her up into the mountains and have her sit in a camp chair in the back of a pickup truck. Have her chug a 32-oz. mug of beer. Have a note at the bottom of the mug saying "Will you marry me?" Then hand her a gun and point to two targets, one saying "yes" and one saying "no." Have her shoot the target with her answer. If she shoots the "yes" target, go to the nearby lake or river and pull out a stringer of trout and ask her to clean them for dinner. In one of the fish, she'll find a ring wrapped in bacon that you stuffed down the fish's mouth in preparation for the occasion. Slip it on her finger, give her a kiss, and then ask her to put a celebratory log on the fire. If she still wants to marry you after all this, you'll know you have a winner, and you'll have a great story to tell all your buddies.

If she's a good shot and you have 2 dueling trees it can be done.

On the back of the first tree's paddles - paint W-I-L-L-U-M. On the back of the second tree's paddles - paint A-R-R-Y-M-E.
