Kyreb Posted July 6, 2006 Share Posted July 6, 2006 Moving to Houston has its benefits! My wife and I just completed our TX CHL requirements over the weekend. A light went off for my bride when she was practicing for her qualification. She decided she likes to shoot! After 26 years together and really, really trying to get her serious about shooting, she gets it! She is shooting my tricked out G-17 with a passion...really leaning into it and shooting like she means it. Her CHL qualification was in the 85% range after only a couple range trips. Last night she even curled up with Jeff Cooper's " Principles of Self Defense" before bed. Hopefully, that first match is not far away.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My husband had the same "problem" until I found an XD9. Now I meet him at the door with gun bags and ammo in hand!! However, he has decided that this could be a double edged sword -- He traded one of his guns for an HK USP .40 and after I shot it I "took" it away from him!! It is now my new competition gun!! haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaxshooter Posted July 6, 2006 Share Posted July 6, 2006 I too am lucky in that regard. My wife shoots and also likes guns. I mention a gun I would like to have and her response is buy it. Been thru a few to get one this good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JFD Posted July 6, 2006 Share Posted July 6, 2006 My wife has been shooting with me a year now. I was cleaning the guns Sunday and she wandered in to check out the difference between a tungsten guide rod and a stainless guide rod I was thrilled at this new level of interest. The day before she somehow took over my Para Limited gun. I guess I'm shooting a G35 in Limited now At least I don't have to load .45s for my/her Kimber L-10 gun now.

AikiDale Posted July 8, 2006 Share Posted July 8, 2006 Last night she even curled up with Jeff Cooper's " Principles of Self Defense" before bed. This all sounds too good to be true. You better plan to just stay in "Condition Yellow" from now on. "I was just cleaning my gun when it accidently went off and ...." Congratulations!

Chris Keen Posted July 8, 2006 Share Posted July 8, 2006 ....... plan to just stay in "Condition Yellow" from now on. Scary, but true ...... I know some stories that would make some men think twice about their women learning to shoot ............ But the important thing is you both found something you can enjoy together. Way to go!

After 26 years together, I am not too worried about myself. I think watching the local morning news in Houston probably had a lot more to do with it.
