Be careful about what you wish for

I've always loved doing activities with the my best friend in the world ,my wife.

The problem with the PCP guns was that they are too heavy for her the shoot comfortably and so she was never really interested in going out and shooting with me.

Thanks to a very good member on this form wyshadow. I am now a proud owner of an fx wildcat.

It came in today and of course I could not hesitate to open the box my wife was looking over my shoulder. Sitting in the corner of the room was the Gauntlet 25, when I open my box and pulled out the wildcat my wife's first response was you traded that scope for a BB gun she kept looking at the gauntlet and its size and comparing it to the wildcat thinking that a quality PCP needed to be bigger and heavier to be better.

I had to explain to her that this is the difference between a $300 gun and a $1,200 precision gun.

Needless to say I immediately started grabbing pallets and loading the clip, my wife was holding the gun and the first words out of her mouth after I got the clip loaded was that she was going to shoot it first, the boss has spoken so we stepped outside and she shot the FX.

I think I have lost my first FX before I even got to shoot it, her response was nothing but 😁.




 
She is a short armed person and the Wildcat is light easy to handle and fits her, she did the same thing in our bow shooting she got her a brand new bow (we were shopping for me one) I got a used one LOL but yes, I would gladly lose personal ownership of the FX if it means we can have fun together .... Besides I have a whole Airgun Nation of friends I am sure I can get a good deal on another FX 😋
 
Great stuff Willie!

My wife is very tolerant of my airgun addiction and has in the past joined in the shooting. Last summer she came back from shopping, presented me a can of pellets and suggested that I get rid of some dandelions... kept me entertained for a couple of hours! Hmmmm, Wonder why she did that. :)

Me and my wife used to go dragon fly hunting with a bow and arrow 😂 now not only is that a target rich environment dragons are mean
