Girlfriend at the range

[Chucksolo1]

So yesrerday my girlfriend and I went to our local gun store and I bought a new Octagon Frontier .22 LR and my lady bought a new Golden Boy Silver she ordered a couple of days ago. She opted not to get the American Beauty as she would have had to wait about 3 weeks for one. She's happy and that's what counts! It's nice to share a hobby with your significant other.

Three thumbs up! One for each Henry and one for having a common hobby you both get into.

My wife has absolutely no interest in guns, wish she did, however we get along great. She respects my interests.
My shooting is mostly done alone...I'm ok with that though.☺

Same here. Well mostly. She likes the looks of the Sharps. If she had one I doubt she'd shoot it, but maybe once.

Who would't like the looks of the Sharps!

We just got back from the range and she actually helped me clean the guns. We had a little competition using my scoped H001. We shot 50 rounds each at 25 yards and she beat me by 1 point! Man, I think I've created a monster!!

Yes, A GOOD MONSTER!

You are brave to compete with your woman. Of course you know her better than we do. If the fish are biting better for me than Miss T, I paddle away, because fishing is the one thing she had Always beaten me at. I won't say I throw that game... I just don't keep a tight count on those days.

Tina won't shoot against me, but loves to shoot with me when she isn't busy.

Glad you took your GF to the range. I see more and more females at my range and I think it's great to see the younger gals getting into shooting. There were four this morning at the rifle range. Typically there are more on the pistol range than the rifle range. All in all great to see the enthusiasm.

Yes, I think the women are thinking more and more about self defense. As they should.

My wife gave me a Henry carbine two years ago for my 70th birthday. She’s never been much into shooting but I talked her into trying my Henry. It was love at first shot and she took my Henry away. She love it almost as much as she loves me and it was worth giving up my new rifle to have her as my shooting partner too.

My sweet wife gave me the OK to buy another which I did. Unfortunately the store I bought it from sold me the wrong rifle. I purchased a carbine but they actually gave me a standard rifle. I discovered the mistake when I got home and drove 50 miles to the Rural King where I bought it to find they wouldn’t make good on a swap.

To make the story short I sold it and bought a Henry Big Boy carbine with the brass receiver in 45LC which I really like. I also found a super clean Winchester 62a pump 22 that I bought so I wound up with a nice Winchester, Henry 45LC and get to shoot her carbine plus have a wonderful shooting partner.

I’ve been dating a woman for about three months. We made it to the range once for a few minutes. Shooting in the rain isn’t much fun so we didn’t stay for long.

When the weather improves we will go again. I was going solo today but the rain even kept me away. When we go again I want it to be something she enjoys and not something she has to endure.

You just never know how an act of love & kindness will turn out. In my previous post I stated I talked my non shooter wife into shooting my Henry carbine and she liked it so much she took it and made it hers. I felt it’s a small price to pay to get her into shooting with me.

Anyway she said I could replace it and I wound up with a new Big Boy 45LC, beautiful vintage Winchester 62a and today I picked up a new H001L to replace the one she took. Folks I lucked out! Not only did I get the sweetest wife I got three rifles in the deal. Of course it doesn’t hurt to buy her new clothes and shoes when she spots something she likes.

I’m happy and she’s happy and I have a great shooting partner. I think that was an excellent deal.

A little history behind the new H001L. I live near Buds Gun Shop and Smoky Mountain Guns And Ammo. That’s a bad think as you know but this morning I was scanning their website and saw they have a special edition that has a special SN. I just had to have one and now you know the full story.

@38SuperMan Happy wife happy life

My wife doesn't shoot or have an interest in firearms. If she did I'd have to sleep with one eye open.

The great thing about a wife or girlfriend that shoots, especially one that shoots well...
If the proverbial feces hits the fan... You have back up.
When we go on long trips, we both carry our Glock 23s...
I put a dozen spare mags in the center console. No worry about which mag will work for who.
We take the Airweight 38 and my 357 Snubby as back ups. Two boxes of 38+p and a few speed strips.
We are Golden.
