coles Posted August 12, 2009 Report Share Posted August 12, 2009 My girlfriend and i finally found some time where we were both off work. So we loaded up a bunch of my guns to head out and shoot. today was mainly just to see what she could handle for this coming hunting season since she has never hunted before. She loved my 204. Was drillin rocks way out there today. then she shot the 30-30 just for fun. She didnt like that one too much but i think she will like it more when i put a rubber recoil pad on it. She shot the 270 last and she loved it more than the other ones. Which really makes me happy. i was scared that it was goin to be too much for her but she was drilling just about everything she shot at! So i guess she will be using my 270 this year for deer and elk. Most importantly she had fun. She wasnt scared of any of the guns and just simply had a blast.

Strut10 Posted August 12, 2009 Report Share Posted August 12, 2009 Great job getting her out and introducing her to the sport. Don't hook her up with any of your OTPG stuff until she's ready. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbHunterNY Posted August 12, 2009 Report Share Posted August 12, 2009 Nice! My girlfriend hasn't sparked an interest in guns... I've got her into bows though so I'm still keeping my fingers crossed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She would have shot all the ammo i brought if it wasnt so hot out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coles Posted August 13, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 13, 2009 I just cant explain how proud of her i really am. She passed hunters safety in less than a week and she is already buggin me about when hunting season opens and she constantly heckles me about how she is going to shoot a bigger buck than i am. She wanted to go shooting again today but her work schedule prevented that from happening. Maybe we will go out tomorrow. I guess its time for me to get a membership to a range so we can really get her dialed in and comfortable as well as confident in her shooting abilities.
