The wife has come totally full circle

[Sharpster]

Sounds like she's a keeper if she takes you to the range for a date!

That's what I'm saying

I knew I had it wrong.

What type of flowers do you want at your funeral?

Can we tape your beating? OK to post it on YouTube?

In lieu of flowers, please make donations to MSI. As for the beating, if no one posts it on YouTube, I'll be disappointed in you folks.

I suck at Math, but isn't a "Full Circle" 360 degrees so you end up at the same place you started ? Now if she came around 180 degrees.............

My mom is still uneasy about it especially after I got my 12ga but now she wants to try out the handgun. It's easier to get away with trips to gun stores when she doesn't mind the guns as much

Get her out to the Women On Target clinics sponsored by Monumental Rifle And Pistol Club.

You can get more information at mwotinfo@gmail.com or e-mail Patty West (pskryja@gmail.com or pskryja on MD Shooters) directly.

I second that!

OP, that about sums about my wife from quite a few years ago when I purchased my first two firearms, a revolver and a small pump carbine. My wife hated having them in the house and left nothing open to interpretation. She acted a bit like the guns might somehow break loose from storage on their own and chase us around the house on a shooting spree. Then I took her to the range a few times, especially after I got a few more revolvers. Then I convinced her to take NRA pistol training. I kept taking her to the range. Then I got her an NRA life membership. Then she started reading the real-life stories in the NRA magazines. Then suddenly one day the light bulb went off and she had the epiphany that really bad things can happen to innocent people at completely unpredictable times. She didn't think we were well enough protected and sent me off to buy more, which I happily did. Now she asks when we're going to the range to practice. Go figure.

Funny you should mention that. I feel like my wife started with exactly the same mindset. But then my son and I became involved in shooting sports of all sorts. Now she tolerates them in the house but isn't interested in going out shooting. When we did goad her into doing some informal trap she was great. She has excellent hand-eye coordination and hit 3 for 3! I think now the issue is that she doesn't WANT to enjoy shooting, so she's stonewalling. However, I'm still working on her...it's a noble quest!

Back to the OP's question, I've personally witnessed many more women becoming involved in the shooting sports, from IDPA to trap/skeet to cowboy action. From my perspective, it's immensely gratifying to see the change. I'm sure that this change will have a huge impact in the coming years.
