    My bride shoots with me a few times a year.....hunting is not her thing at all,

    Mostly she supports my enjoyment of it all and tolerates me in general !!.๐ŸฆŒ

    My girlfriend likes shooting handguns- caliber from .32 up to .44 magnum, but she doesn't have any interest in rifles other than machineguns. Hunting doesn't interest her at all. Forum member? No.

    Mine likes to shoot handguns especially the revolvers and does quite good at sporting clays. She tolerates my hunting. Biggest draw back is some of my favorite revolvers she now consider hers

    mine likes to shoot, but arthritis has gotten her to point pistols hurt to shoot, rifles seem to knock her neck out of whack. tried to take her fishing last year but she only made about half hour in the boat and sounded like one of the grandkids, jabbering about anything and everything and complaining there weren't any fish in the lake, I now fish by myself.....

    guns,shooting,hunting?? Are they a forum member?

    My wife is my backup, shooting,and hunting partner. I'm pretty lucky.

    My wife and I have hunted, fished, and target practiced together for over a half century. While on the road the past 20 years before our retirement in 2014 we mostly just shot paper targets. She's always had my back and she's always been a better shot with a handgun than me.

    Forum member - No.

    Shooting - given time she is deadly.

    Not so much on hunting, but when she wants to dispatch a critter, she hits what she aims at.

    Firearms - she has laid claim to a number of them, that I have brought home.

    She has a CCW.

    She bought me a new firearm before we were married. Thought she might be a keeper then.

    Still thinking she might be.

    my wife supports me to a point in all my hobbies as long as I do not get carried away $$ I still have the all same hobbies as when we got married she will help if I need her when working on any thing and is handy in her own wright in many areas she does not shoot much if any lately but still comes out to enjoy every one else when we have back yard shooting ammo dump days . she hates the left for wanting to take away out gun rights as much as any one could

    yep she is a keeper but we have been married 42 years I guess its obvious too late in life to start over now LOL

    No and no. But we're both OK with that.

    Nope. Not a bit of interest in anything I do.


    Remember, this can be a positive thing. If I can get it from my car into my gun safe unseen, I'm gold. She has no idea what is in my gun safe so if I get something out of the safe she assumes it has been there for years. One long gun looks just like every other long gun to her, all handguns look alike to her!!


    She also has no clue what I pay for my rabbit breeding stock. Since every rabbit I have descends from the top two or three breeders in the country this is a good thing.

    No, but she buys me a gun most every Christmas and birthday.

    I actually first met Judy at the local shooting club that we both belong to. Don't tell her that I said this, but Judy is a better trap shooter than I am. I can beat her at skeet and sporting clays but I do have to work at it. She is also a pretty fair rifle shot as well. As we get older we don't shoot as much as we used to but she surprises me how well she can do considering how little practice she gets. Bob

    Yes. The wife loves camping, hiking, shooting, hunting, traveling, etc.

    We've made several hunting trips this year around home, and throughout the Midwest.

    Last weekend we scouted for deer, turkey, and ducks all across Oklahoma.

    This spring we'll turkey hunt in possibly 4 states.

    She has no interest in guns other than asking that I keep them out of the way. Not a forum member.

  • NeoBlackdog

    Mine likes to shoot. She's pretty fair with a pistol, decent at the trap line, can mag-dump an AR like a pro, and is absolutely deadly with her rifle (700 LTR in 308). She doesn't attend the defensive pistol matches with me now but says when we get retired she'll probably start.

    She's also a fishin' machine. Doesn't seem to matter what we fish for she will almost always catch the most and the biggest.

    She says it's only because I'm the best fishin' guide in the world but I know better. Our friends call her the 'fish witch'.

    My wife enjoys shooting and she teaches CWP classes, neither of us are big hunters. Funny thing I was going to cull some of the safe and she said NO she wants to keep them all!

    And hopefully she is not reading this over your shoulder !! ๐Ÿคจ๐Ÿ˜‰

    Wife is a venison freak but has never hunted, I am expected to keep the freezer stocked (we process our own meat, all steaks & roasts). We both have carry permits but she rarely shoots. Mutual interest in Bluegrass music, which is how we met.

    I've been in the Gun Business for 31 years. Don't known if that's a hobby. My wife helps out but... not so much in to Guns. Although she knows her way around about any type.

    But she will out shoot me, with my Colt Commander

    I help out with her hobbies, Gardening, home renovation, and cooking. Married 37 years last week.,

    The wife loves "range time" and turkey hunting...No big game for her...Heck of a shot and has won a couple of turkey shoots...

    She is the daughter of a uranium miner and was brought up on rabbit, deer and elk and does not care for it...

    44 years for us...she is a keeper!!!

    Wife has witnessed me shoot a lot of deer but hasn't had an interest to shoot one herself. She calls me a sharpshooter with some of the distances I have shot them. And she knows a DRT.. when they drop instantly. However she will shoot a .22 handgun or rifle or her snub .38. I do think she would shoot someone if they break into the house. She is not fond of a 12 gauge shotgun. They kick too hard. But she can shoot one if needed.

    Up here in New York on the Vermont border, and my wife is from the western slope of Colorado. She has shot more deer then me, has butchered elk along with her sisters and brothers. She has a New York State pistol license, and is a good shot. She also is good at shooting skeet.

    She has shot every gun I own from matchlocks , flintlocks , and every other gun I own. If some ner do well should break in, and run into her first.....I get a chill running up my spine.๐Ÿ˜ฎ
