Just Great.... Thanks a lot People

I did as some suggested by others on this forum.
My wife gave in and shot my gun..... Well people I hope you are happy now...

She shot 10 shots, 2 five group shots.... 
I may add this girl has never ever held a gun.... she would not even pick one of mine up
to move it... 

Well see the results of your bright idea...
First five is the bottom target at 36 yards ..... and a gentle breeze...
2nd five is the top target 36 yards and gentle steady breeze...
If she had adjusted for wind not telling what would happen.....

I may add her brothers are crack shots with powder burners...must run in family...
She said it was fun but couldn't see herself doing much of it......

Thanks guys..... Now I even feel worse about my shooting abilities...

LOL. Nice groups billy. You got yourself more competition now. Don't get depressed all over again. There is something called beginners luck or so they say so.

I think if I was you I would just file this away back in the brain and for future reference......"DONT PISS HER OFF!"

LOL Billy my man you are a hoot! 

 

[CampFussell]

She's a keeper ;-)
That could really come in handy if for some reason your groups start expanding? Just hand the rifle to your wife and if she can group with it, you'll know it's you and not the rifle? LOL!

You might want to try some reactive targets like paint balls or something else to let her shoot. Most women shooters I have known prefer to shoot targets like this over the standard paper targets. Who knows maybe if you get her involved you might be able to by a new gun and more equipment easier.

 

[billydjann]

its funny because first group she said she could not find target.... I did not know what she meant....
So I watched second group while firing...... she had her eye up to scope trying to look though it....
I said.... dummy bring your head back and look ...... she said oh wow... what a difference.....
I did not know she did not know how to look though a scope...

I tried to get her interested in shooting more.... but she said it is not fun....
Go figure.....

Just had the same thing happen at my farm, but a 13 year old girl. My wife's cousin's daughter and friend were visiting and my daughter asked to go down to the pond to shoot the .22 rifle. No problem. Any excuse to shoot. So I bring my Talon SS. This girl puts 4 pellets in 1 hole at 25 yards with 1 pellet rimming it. I told her to find a shooting club and start shooting because she is a pure natural. I should have had her popping starlings and Hosp's all week. Humble pie is a frequent dish around here.

It's not fun if you hit the target ALL the time. It's like if you played golf and got all holes-in-one! LOL!

Just remember, anyone can hit the bullseye, but it takes true skill to put the pellets all around it so it doesn't get damaged.
