gasbag Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 (edited) Hello, I found this site a few days ago and have been snooping around and finally decided to come on in. I will be hanging in here and reading a lot. I don't know much yet so I can't add much. We shoot pistols only and my wife and I are at the range every Monday having a great time together. She is the reason I began reloading. She started shooting last spring and absolutely loves it. It got expensive. We are both rather amateur shooters but enjoy shooting together a lot. I am retired and we are both a bit older so old eyes give us a few problems. Bought her a red dot and that has helped a lot. Either way we are having a good time together and that is what counts for us. Edited January 25, 2013 by gasbag Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ima45dv8 Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 Welcome. You won't save a penny. But you'll probably shoot more! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hi-Power Jack Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 Buy a .22 with a red dot - lots of fun, and less expensive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gasbag Posted January 25, 2013 Author Share Posted January 25, 2013 Buy a .22 with a red dot - lots of fun, and less expensive. I bought her a Ruger .22 Competition with a 6 7/8" barrel. Put a TruGlo open red dot on it and she is doing very well now. I bought her the .22 because with the other pistols she was developing an anticipation flinch and getting a bit frustrated. She has now calmed down and doing nicely. Her results with the other calibers has also improved. I have a Buck Mark .22 I bought back in the 90's and it has become a lot of fun to have mini-competitions between us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
