took my gal shooting

[unclebill]

my fiance and i went to the gun range today.
for the 1st time she got to shoot from a bench.
at one point she said.
i am NEVER shooting walmart (bulk) ammo again!
then later she said that she could shoot my rifle all day!
i thnk i have won her over to the wonderful world of .22 shooting. ;)
she prefers the custom 10-22 over the cz452 varmint
anyhow
here is her best 50 yard 5 shot group.

I've found that the hardest part about female's shooting is getting them to even hold a gun in their hands in the first place.

Once they DO, though, every one I've taken shooting (about 2 dozen-odd) has been a 'natural", shooting very well, with no bad habits - provided their mentor doesn't "overgun" them with a loudenboomer the first few times out.

Good on you, AND her ! . [smilie=w:

I dunno...That Walmart/Federal ammo shot a one hole group.....Well, except for those nine fliers. :mrgreen:

Hello, unclebill. I think there are alot of gals with natural shooting ability...When I was dating my soon-to-be wife, I set up a target in back yard & handed her a little Remington #4 rolling block .22 rimfire....plain open rear, blade front. She proceded to knock the center out of that target!...Offhand! She prooved to be a pretty fair shot with a S&W K22 as well. Her reaction?...Ho hum! I would have given my eye teeth to be able to shoot like that on my first try!..She doesn't mind my shooting or hobby..but is just not interested in shooting herself..go figure?

i do think you have the right idea. start slow with a small caliber rifle. no bad habits is the key

After taking my wife out shooting my 22's several times, which by the way she is a natural, she now owns a ruger 22/45 lite.
Problem being that I can't seem to keep enough 22 ammo in the house, haha, what a problem to have.

Be careful, I started my wife on a .22 magnum, then .38 special (loaded light) and then a Ruger MKII Slabside.

And now I am down three guns. She claims their hers.

Oh well, at least she's enjoying the same hobby as I am.

Yeah, really! Shortly after Janet and I were married, she said she wanted me to teach her how to shoot so we could do that together. She took my S&W model 19 and now I have to ask her if I can shoot it!

I bought a new 22 rifle yesterday to hunt 'coons with, brought it home and showed it to her. First thing she says is "I want you to paint it pink for me." I'd be the laughing stock of the 'coon club!
