The wife did well today!!

Well I mentioned that I got my wife a bow and she was going to go stumping with me. Well today I got her out to her first 3/D shoot. A local 30 target course that I went to with Cyclic-Rivers and his wife. Well I was as proud as could be when we finished and my wife had shot a 172 with only 5 misses.....for her first time ever. She shot her own Bear Kodiak Hunter [1976] 35# @ 28, with 2114 Alum. arrows. No arrows lost or bent or broke either. And the best part....she said she liked it!

I'm glad you have a new shooting partner. It is nice to share a hobby with the ones we love.
My wife has more natural shooting skill than I will ever have but doesn't appreciate it. She shoots a 3d shoot every now and then and hunts some years. I try not to push it but love when she goes.
P.S. A wife hunting and shooting is way more expensive than your buddy down the street with his own stuff. :D

Ya know Ron, I think a recount is in order. The way she was shooting, I think maybe she had won.
Fortunately my wife didn't keep score so I think she beat me
Aside from the heat and humidity, it was a great shoot. glad we came off the course minutes before the rain.

It sounds like you all had a great time. There's nothing better than spending time outdoors with the family.

Next time I'll keep score
Becka had a great time but the heat was getting to her. I liked your after shoot activities better than ours, next time I am going home with you.
I am happy Denise came along!

Congrats to you and especially your wife. That is a super score for a first 3D!
