i cant help ya ma. 8 yrs ago i ask my wife if she wanted to shoot . she said sure she had participated in archery when she was a kid. just before full draw she let go of the string and ended up popping herself in the nose pretty good. she hasn't picked up a bow since. ive still been trying to talk her into shooting ... no dice

If I give you a link, will you stop with the run-on sentences? Periods are for guys, too.   :saywhat:

Killie....toooooo punny  :laughing: .
The years accumulate on old friendships like tree rings, during which time a kind of unspoken care and loyalty accrue between men.

my fiance loves to shot ever since trying in high school. Now she is waiting for me to buy her a bow. Looks like my new one will have to wait.

Thanks, Killie! All punctuation included.    :bigsmyl:  My wife will go to the shoots with me, but says, "she does not have enough time to hunt and shoot."

I was lucky.  my wife was curious and now enjoys spending time with me. I tell her she can come when she wants and never force her to go.
Relax,

Outstanding link Killie. I've been blessed with a wife who shoots targets with me all the time, but she will not hunt, a better shooting partner I could not find.
Bowhunting is a passion, not an obsession. Its just hard for my wife to tell the difference sometimes.

My wife shoots with me every time I step out. she just started last summer,She really wasnt 100% into it until we went to ATAR, now she is worse off than I am. She even called me the other evening and said "Dont be mad, I know you are at work but I have to go out in the yard and shoot a little with out you." I dont think there is enough room in the house for two trad nuts......lol

My wife hunts and shoots all the time.  I can send you some pics of her and she is a lady to the core.  Ladys do shoot and many of them shoot very well.
