I have created a monster

My two boys and I have been going out to the range for the last couple of years shooting clays. Its about the only time I get to spend with both boys because of my work schedule.
My wifes father passed away last year, and the estate was finally settled. We got a bunch of odds and ends and a left handed Winchester shotgun. Wife is left handed. we had asked her to come on several occasions, but she did not want to because she didnt have a left handed weapon, she was afraid of the shells hitting her in the face. I took the weapon to a friend of mine, ( GOOD GUNSMITH ) to look over the weapon and make sure it was OK to shoot.He cleaned it up replaced a few parts that were wore.
Took the wife out last Sunday, she said she would like to try and shoot with the guys. She shot about 50 rds and called it quits. I thought she was not intrested by the way she acted last week. Last night she came home with 500rds of 12ga Winchester and 6 cases of clays. Said we were going shooting in the morning. We spent four hours out at the range this morning. She informed me this afternoon, that she would be joining me this fall for DOVE season. She wants to go again tomarrow, thank goodness I have to work. It was 105 at the range today, I was DIEING OUT THERE from the heat, she was haveing the time of her life. She is also talking to me about getting a shotgun reloader. When I asked her about one last year she said "no", said I already had three loaders, I didnt need another one.
What have I created here folks?????
SOMEBODY, PLEASE HELP ME.

Enjoy it!!! Not too many wives that enjoy shooting/hunting.
Don't send flowers when I die. Send money now, I can buy more ammo.
You didn't create a monster. I think you will find you will enjoy your shooting much more when you both shoot.
and the flip side of that is you will never have to explain a gun buy to your wife again
you just have to watch that she doesn't use up all the gun money
SMILE...MAKE EM WONDER WHAT YOUR UP TO
If I knew then, what I know now.

Just because your paranoid doesn't mean they aren't out to get you!kimberkid@gunbroker.zzn.com
? otherwise, you'll find an excuse.

As far as the monster goes. Congratz I found my wife at the shooting range taking instructions not to long ago but I am not sure if it had the same affect on her as it has on your wife.
If you will blame gun makers for every shooting then blame car maker for every car accident.
Once in a while I bust Warpigs and 280freaks butt about North and South Dakota, but I'll tell you , all in all they are beautiful states. The weather can can pretty harsh out there. One year in October, on the way out to Montana, we must have burned a tank of propane trying to keep our camper warm going through Williston. Damn it was cold and windy.
The only problem is, there is only one tree out there, and it's on the North and South Dakota border. Warpig, 280 and myself have claimed squatters rights to it. That's where we decide how many gophers are going to get whacked that day.
Warpig and 280, I'm surprised you guys forgot to tell her about that tree. Unless you wanted to keep it a secret. What the hell, it's a long border so she'll have a hard time finding it.
Unless we need someone to cook our gophers??
Just keep doing shooting, maybe stop for dinner on the way home once. That would be nice.
My wife keeps asking me to take her out to the pistol range to try out her Hi-Power, I guess I'd better make time and do it before the charm wears off, huh.
