My wife adopted a "can't beat 'em join 'em" attitude.  Final straw for her was me camping with the kids at a 3-d shoot and her having to just walk along!  Only hiccup now is when I try to offer form advice...    ;)

My Wife hunts and shoots with a great Northern Lil Creep..she loves the longbow, and has the patience of a saint and the stealth of a cat..she heads off to her stand, and I swing thru and pick her up at dark. She climbs like a squirrel , and hates heights!
She killed a nice 8 pointer last fall, and she was pumped.
I can drop her in the middle of the Adirondacks, and she will always be waiting for me at our predetermined meeting place, she can orient herself in the woods, and I never have to worry about her.]}} its great having a partner to share this stuff with.

My wife shot an arrow while we were engaged and she never put down a bow since. While attending the Muzzy Stump shoot she got to know Michelle Eichler and Michelle actually convinced her to hunt telling her that if she did not want to shoot an animal no law said she had to. Her first kill was a black bear and she has taken several deer as well. Here she is with her last kill. She shoots a DAS Gen I riser with Morrison Super Short Max I limbs, 44# at 26" and shoots 500 spine Axis shafts and 200 grain Razorcaps.

It's cool that there are so many ladies that are into it as well. Mine loves to hunt, so I have no doubt she will. It's just a matter of her working up to a little more draw weight and getting proficient.

It's a dream of mine to have my wife and all 4 kids bowhunting all on the same day together with longbows I made for them.
My wife hunts a few times a year with a .243 for deer but not yet with a bow, someday maybe.

Mine does, hunts too! She's currently leading the buckle series at our archery club by a landslide!

My wife likes to shoot as well, however I'm finding out she is very competitive. She would like to hunt but has a low tolerance for cold. Tried to post a photo but I have no idea how to make it work.

Put her in a ground blind with a Mr Buddy heater.

I met my wife at an indoor league that she helped form.  She was previously a sponsered compound competitor.  She has hunted with me, but when grandkids came along, she dropped everything to be a Nana.  Between us, we have 10 grandkids, so she's been busy.  Now that most are school age, I'm hoping to get her back in the woods. She loves deer hunting, and going to South Texas to chase javelina.  She loves her Bob Lee recurves, which are between 46-48 pounds.

My wife likes to shoot and is great on the 3D range, she doesn't have any interest in hunting and that is fine with me, just happy she likes to shoot.

My wife's bow got here yesterday. She didn't get off work until 7, and I work 4-midnight so I didn't get to shoot with her. She said she shot until her arms hurt though so I guess she's enjoying it. Maybe this evening I'll have a chance to shoot with her and get some pics depending on how my shift goes. Sometimes I can come home at supper, sometimes not. We'll see!!

She doesn't hunt, but likes to go to 3D events with me.
