Why I love my wife

[Typecaster]

My lovely wife of 34 years just said I looked stressed. She has many ways of making everything OK, but today she suggested I go shooting.

Wow...

[fmp#1]

Don't ya love it when that happens . ( Not as often as we would like .) It's good they're understanding .

All the best

[Bret4207]

My wife, " Jeeze! Either take your meds or go kill something!"

[9.3X62AL]

Marie--"Take me shooting. 'Lucy' needs a workout." ('Lucy' is short for 'Lucretia Borgia', the SIG P-228 she appropriated about ten minutes after it arrived home in 2003.)

She's a peach.

[Typecaster]

I must admit that she'll go shooting with me, just not as often now as when the Night Stalker was cruising the neighborhood. Then she would use my S&W Model 19 to go through a coffee can of of hot "social medicine," as a policeman tenant used to call 'em—hollow-base wadcutters with a gas check on the nose and loaded backwards to make a rather large HP. Never a flinch or a mention that they were different to shoot than 3.5 gr. of Bullseye and a Keith SWC.

I like to think we have an equitable marriage—I got the "for better," she got the "for worse."

thats funny. My Wife just asked me this morning if we can spend Sunday afternoon at the range. I told Her I had work to do around the house, but i'd hold off on that and take Her, just to make Her happy. [smilie=1:

Mine loves to shoot also. I thought that they had broken the mould after theyt built her.

sundog+, That's SOooo thoughtful! You da man! Nuthin' too good for the little lady.

[drinks]

SD2, just how long IS your nose?
If she has the usual level of BS detector genes most wives have, you should be toast!

Opening day of grouse season I came out of the basement with my old LeFever side by side. "Why DON'T you go buy yourself a decent looking shotgun?"

[The Double D]

I don't know how you guys do it, but after 41 years of marriage I just can't get my wife interested in reloading or going to the range.

Everytime she empties a magazine she tosses it to me and says "reload"!

But I solved that problem I got her a Martini.

Nope she don't like to go to the range...hunting that's different

"Everytime she empties a magazine she tosses it to me and says "reload"!"

That's classic

I remember my neice deciding she really liked shooting my little S&W622 .22 auto. After we (4 of us - filling magazines) opened up the second brick, she decided she'd had her fill.

Mine hates guns, hates the noise, hates the smell :cry: She won't touch 'em :cry: She thinks reloading is a waste of time :cry: She thinks that castin' your own is stupid and dangerous :cry: She don’t know a revolver from a pistol, shotgun from a rifle, they all look the same to her :cry: She thinks every one of them is a waste of cash :cry:

Funny thing though, when ever we drive out of the “sticks” (rarely) and into the :roll: “big city” and she sees the first “shady” lookin’ character, she’ll turn to me :shock: and ask, “You did remember your gun didn’t you?” GO FIGURE!!

[ihmsakiwi]

My partner also hated the guns, the smell of Hoppes, and the time I was at the range. That all changed as soon as our 10 yr old daughter started shooting 22 HMS. She even suggested I now reload inside the house instead of out in the shed. Then she bought me a BF 7mm Supermag off the table at last years IHMSA nationals. Can't wait to see what hapeens next. Peter.

[FISH4BUGS]

.............asked me to teach her to shoot for Mother's Day. She lives alone in a farmhouse in rural New Hampshire. I bought her a 3" HB Model 36-1 S&W square butt that has been ported and had an action job and oversized Herrett Grips. Nickled - not my favorite finish, but for $300 I couldn't pass it up.....she thought nickled was kinda cool.
She is getting better and better. We shoot 200-400 38 rounds every time we go out. I am confident she will eventually be a very good handgunner. She is learning double action shooting and center mass shot placement very well. Burglars take note.
She also loves to shoot my MAC M11A1 .380 submachingun with a supressor. She is getting pretty good with that too. She is enjoying the challenge of being able to hit what she is shooting at. Who would have thought making a can jump could be so much fun?
She is a keeper. She lets me use the shed attached to the house and barn for WW storage (now over a ton), ingot storage (500lbs and growing) linotype storage (200 lbs and growing) and all my equipment for smelting and casting. My downtown condo is too small and impossible to do that in.
To top it off, she is a massage therapist. After a long day of casting she will work on my shoulders and back.......I must be one of the luckiest guys around.

I can get any shooting/reloading supplies I want, whenever I can afford it...as long as she gets to shoot some. :)

[leftiye]

I thought yugos were cars. They'd be fun to shoot too! Just like gremlins, and volkswagens, etc, etc.

[MGySgt]

Mine goes WW hunting for me - in the last 3 years she has brought home about 2 tons worth.

When the kids were little I could not get her interested in shooting, then she got her CCW (because dummy forgets and leaves his gun in the car at times, and it was cheaper to get her a CCW then loose a gun). Over the next 2 years she bought more guns for her then I bought for my self.

She is a keeper - 34 years last July!

leftiye, Yugoslavian built 59/66 SKS. This one is the one I just sold. Good solid rifles, snag one if you can find one, in unissued form, the gas valves can be burnt in the "shooter grade" ones. I got the first one for $161 delivered. Little more expensive now.

[PatMarlin]

That's a nice SKS.

Hey-

I've been wanting to buy my wife a rifle. I gave her a S&W model 66 but it was something that I already had, and she mentioned having a rifle of her own the other night.

She doesn't like heavy rifles. She really likes my super light .358 Winchester VZ-24 bolt but that's not going to happen.. :mrgreen:

Somthing with not to much of a recoil, but a cast shooter. I've got to think about this one. Hmmm.

[The Double D]

I have a 338/308 AI on a Ruger 77 Mild recoil, Nosler 200 gr. Ballistic tips at 2500 fps are extremely accurate and deadly killers. Used it an deer, elk, kudu, impala, wildebeest, Mt. Reedbuck and Springbok. Only had to use mre than one shot once, on a spined elk.

First ran on to the cartridge back in the early 80's. A bunch of cast bullet shooters in Grants Pass, Oregon were shooting some pretty fantastic scores with the round and I decide I would have to make me one. Finally did make one in 2004. I thought it might be a good choice for the wife as I didn't like the way her .243 killed. After shooting it I liked it to well and she never got it. I'll make her another.

[Nardoo]

My dear wife was a bit reluctant about the whole shooting thing until my boys were big enough to shoot. Within a year of our sons joining me at the local gun club she was handicapper and an indispensable part of the club.
When the boys won regional and state honours shooting in a variety of disciplines she was as excited as me and even her non-shooting family deigned to approve.
These days she is happy to have a Sharpes under the bed or a Perazzi standing in the corner and when I came home with 10 lb of half priced FFg yesterday she was almost as happy as me. Almost.

[PatMarlin]

Th 308 win did cross my mind. BLR would be nice. Nope- then I'd want it.. Lol!

[leftiye]

Armored man, So, do you think it would be fun to shoot Yugos and other cars with them?
