Cranfield Posted July 10, 2011 Report Share Posted July 10, 2011 I have only known a few women that shoot, but they were/are all above average shots. I have heard they are also lucky at fishing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zapp Posted July 10, 2011 Report Share Posted July 10, 2011 Mrs Zapp, who has no interest in shooting of any kind, turned out to be an absolute dab hand the couple of times she had a go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barney86 Posted July 12, 2011 Report Share Posted July 12, 2011 I let my mum have a few shots when I was zeroing the air rifle in her garden - she hit the bull 6 times on the trot, so I took it back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frenchieboy Posted July 13, 2011 Report Share Posted July 13, 2011 I wish mine would take up shooting with me, especially as she used to come (.177 Air rifle) indoor target shooting with me at a club down in Hereford and she was damned good at it! In fairness to her though, even though she has no interest in going shooting nowadays she is very supportive with me and my shooting and has started coming to our clubs clay shooting days!

Tiger955i Posted July 13, 2011 Report Share Posted July 13, 2011 Nice one mate The girlfriend shoots clays, quite well, with my O/U but that's it. No interest in the rifles or air rifles which is a shame as she would be good at it. ATB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
