My wife is my backup, shooting,and hunting partner. I'm pretty lucky.
Comments
Mine doesn't have any interest in anything I do.
My bride shoots with me a few times a year.....hunting is not her thing at all,
Mostly she supports my enjoyment of it all and tolerates me in general !!.🦌
My girlfriend likes shooting handguns- caliber from .32 up to .44 magnum, but she doesn't have any interest in rifles other than machineguns. Hunting doesn't interest her at all. Forum member? No.
Mine likes to shoot handguns especially the revolvers and does quite good at sporting clays. She tolerates my hunting. Biggest draw back is some of my favorite revolvers she now consider hers
mine likes to shoot, but arthritis has gotten her to point pistols hurt to shoot, rifles seem to knock her neck out of whack. tried to take her fishing last year but she only made about half hour in the boat and sounded like one of the grandkids, jabbering about anything and everything and complaining there weren't any fish in the lake, I now fish by myself.....
Bless her heart. 🙂
Uh...no.
Yep, supports, hunts small game, shoots. has had handgun training, keeps one by the bedside. Come on over.😊
My wife and I have hunted, fished, and target practiced together for over a half century. While on the road the past 20 years before our retirement in 2014 we mostly just shot paper targets. She's always had my back and she's always been a better shot with a handgun than me.
Forum member - No.
Shooting - given time she is deadly.
Not so much on hunting, but when she wants to dispatch a critter, she hits what she aims at.
Firearms - she has laid claim to a number of them, that I have brought home.
She has a CCW.
She bought me a new firearm before we were married. Thought she might be a keeper then.
Still thinking she might be.
my wife supports me to a point in all my hobbies as long as I do not get carried away $$ I still have the all same hobbies as when we got married she will help if I need her when working on any thing and is handy in her own wright in many areas she does not shoot much if any lately but still comes out to enjoy every one else when we have back yard shooting ammo dump days . she hates the left for wanting to take away out gun rights as much as any one could
yep she is a keeper but we have been married 42 years I guess its obvious too late in life to start over now LOL
"Mine doesn't have any interest in anything I do."
DITTO (except for the additions I make to the bank account)
No interest at all.
No and no. But we're both OK with that.
Nope. Not a bit of interest in anything I do.
Remember, this can be a positive thing. If I can get it from my car into my gun safe unseen, I'm gold. She has no idea what is in my gun safe so if I get something out of the safe she assumes it has been there for years. One long gun looks just like every other long gun to her, all handguns look alike to her!!
She also has no clue what I pay for my rabbit breeding stock. Since every rabbit I have descends from the top two or three breeders in the country this is a good thing.
No, but she buys me a gun most every Christmas and birthday.
I actually first met Judy at the local shooting club that we both belong to. Don't tell her that I said this, but Judy is a better trap shooter than I am. I can beat her at skeet and sporting clays but I do have to work at it. She is also a pretty fair rifle shot as well. As we get older we don't shoot as much as we used to but she surprises me how well she can do considering how little practice she gets. Bob
Yes. The wife loves camping, hiking, shooting, hunting, traveling, etc.
We've made several hunting trips this year around home, and throughout the Midwest.
Last weekend we scouted for deer, turkey, and ducks all across Oklahoma.
This spring we'll turkey hunt in possibly 4 states.
She has no interest in guns other than asking that I keep them out of the way. Not a forum member.
Mine likes to shoot. She's pretty fair with a pistol, decent at the trap line, can mag-dump an AR like a pro, and is absolutely deadly with her rifle (700 LTR in 308). She doesn't attend the defensive pistol matches with me now but says when we get retired she'll probably start.
She's also a fishin' machine. Doesn't seem to matter what we fish for she will almost always catch the most and the biggest.
She says it's only because I'm the best fishin' guide in the world but I know better. Our friends call her the 'fish witch'.
My wife enjoys shooting and she teaches CWP classes, neither of us are big hunters. Funny thing I was going to cull some of the safe and she said NO she wants to keep them all!
What's this spouse you speak of?
Mine likes to shoot, we took the CCL class together 7 years ago, we don't really hunt but not against it. Not a forum member as far as I know....LOL
No but she supports my interests.
And hopefully she is not reading this over your shoulder !! 🤨😉
Wife is a venison freak but has never hunted, I am expected to keep the freezer stocked (we process our own meat, all steaks & roasts). We both have carry permits but she rarely shoots. Mutual interest in Bluegrass music, which is how we met.
I've been in the Gun Business for 31 years. Don't known if that's a hobby. My wife helps out but... not so much in to Guns. Although she knows her way around about any type.
But she will out shoot me, with my Colt Commander
I help out with her hobbies, Gardening, home renovation, and cooking. Married 37 years last week.,
The wife loves "range time" and turkey hunting...No big game for her...Heck of a shot and has won a couple of turkey shoots...
She is the daughter of a uranium miner and was brought up on rabbit, deer and elk and does not care for it...
44 years for us...she is a keeper!!!

Wife has witnessed me shoot a lot of deer but hasn't had an interest to shoot one herself. She calls me a sharpshooter with some of the distances I have shot them. And she knows a DRT.. when they drop instantly. However she will shoot a .22 handgun or rifle or her snub .38. I do think she would shoot someone if they break into the house. She is not fond of a 12 gauge shotgun. They kick too hard. But she can shoot one if needed.
Up here in New York on the Vermont border, and my wife is from the western slope of Colorado. She has shot more deer then me, has butchered elk along with her sisters and brothers. She has a New York State pistol license, and is a good shot. She also is good at shooting skeet.
She has shot every gun I own from matchlocks , flintlocks , and every other gun I own. If some ner do well should break in, and run into her first.....I get a chill running up my spine.😮
Where in CO...?

Wife #1.... Sort of, she would shoot and enjoy the outdoors, camping and the like.
Wife #2.... not so much, she lied about loving fishing in Alaska before we got hitched, she fished once with me.
Wife#3... Nope, she was too interested in stealing what she could from me, lying about everything from the day I met her.
There is a 8 point whitetail buck mount hanging over my desk now that my wife killed a few years ago with her own model 70 super grade.She loves fishing and shooting.
I found that the less the wife knows about my firearms and hunting/fishing equipment the more I can accumulate without being cross examined by the wife. (and I do not have to buy her something (diamonds and jewelry) of equal value to appease her for what I have bought for myself if I can keep it hidden)
I also store sporting eq for the grandkids so if she inquires about something, it's most generally belongs to one of the grandkids and no further investigations.
If the wife starts getting mad at you, think of your hunting and fishing equipment FIRST before you pop your jaws, be nice, because you may have to sacrifice your equipment due to your mouth.
Delta most of her life and Rifle.
Late hubbie was never a hunter. For years he was a deer season widow, lol. I would travel to Missouri and leave him and the kids at home while I hunted. He enjoyed the fruits of my labor. Later after the kids were grown and gone he would join me in camp during deer season. He loved to shoot, just didn't have the patience to sit for hours in cold weather doing nothing. He would sleep late and enjoy the solitude of not dealing with postal matters. Being in the boonies with no cell service meant as a Postmaster he could actually get away from it all. He would bring his pistols and plink for fun. Rabbit hunting was a little more entertaining for him. I was the better shot and he would readily admit it.
He was into shooting and collected a vast array of firearms. We got a FFL while stationed at Ft. Gillem so we could get what we wanted at wholesale prices. That is what originally brought me to GB. We would also do gunshows around the Atlanta area. Kennesaw was always the biggest and best. Made $20k one year to support the habit.
We both loved to fish and I would always catch more than him. I would tease him that he wore the skin off the bait from casting and reeling. Patience was never his virtue.
Yes HE does. ;)
My hubby & I are truly blessed in that we enjoy the great outdoors, trying new things and have just enough separate interests to keep life interesting.
Currently, he’s supporting my renewed interest in firearms... tonight was date-night. We went to the fire range. Had a blast. (See what I did there?) married 15 years... gets better & more fun every day.
I know I know I know... still want to find a Glock 19 Gen 5 mos 9mm under $800!! Seriously though...Point and shoot...so good.
Welcome to the zoo, Pepperjean! You sound like you'll fit right in!
The wife unit loves to fish, and periodically deer hunts with me. She grew up in Minnersota, with dad and stepmom having a cabin up nort, along with her grandparents on her mother's side, on the same lake. (My parents had a place directly across a narrow finger from her dad.)
Been together since '88 with a 5 year hiatus while I was in the USMC.
She shot a button buck this year. Her third deer. She keeps harping me to build a proper range out back so she and the girls can shoot more.
She truly loves to fish, and takes our daughters a lot more than I do, or we do.
My wife owns her own guns. Use to shot some of the pin and steel matches with me. Does not care to hunt, it is the part about killing she don't care for, but some times she tags along with me hunting, just to enjoy the out doors. She spent more than a few nights helping me load ammo when I was doing pins, steel, I.S.P.C. and prairie dog whackin'. She had me show her how to break down all her guns so she could clean them herself. Her last gun, a S&W M&P Shield 9mm, she went and got all by herself, told me after she bought it.
Besides all that, she is my bestest friend and has put up with me for over 35 years. Yeah, I'll keep her.
