How can shooting be funner for women?

[DoubleJJ]

What would make a gal want to shoot more?

 

[The Keymaster]

My wife likes shooting at the knock down plates. Also since I reload, she likes trying out different loads that I make for her. As stupid as this sounds, she has enjoyed shooting more since I joined a club, and we have access to an outdoor range. Many people have told me that women like guns with suppressors, but I don't own one...yet.

The social aspect of a club would appeal to gals. KLRMJ likes the 22s and 17s in rifle and pistol.

Fellas, I hate to be the one to break it to ya, but sometimes she's just not that into shooting.

In my experience, women love proper grammar.

Let her come to shooting. Anything forced is not fun.

Just like everything and everyone else

A modicum of success will go a long way towards a newbie, regardless of gender, having fun. Reactive targets are good, even if they are only Shoot.N.C. An accurate .22lr bolt gun, shot off a rest, is a great way to start before moving on to something a bit more challenging........IF SHE WANTS TO MOVE ON.

We just took a non-shooting couple to Crosley last weekend with a variety of guns. Neither of them had ever handled any kind of firearm. He liked the Smith 629, she loved the CZ 452 .22lr.

My wife does not like shooting paper, she likes blowing up things. She enjoys skeet, because they explode when hit. She really likes the new exploding targets that are filled with the binary explosive. She also likes shooting steel targets that fall down or move when hit. All paper targets do not interest her. Also, Kirk's comment on letting her come to shooting is wise. As he said "anything forced is not fun" .

Good luck,

Terry

Some women like to shoot and some don't. I think trying to "convince" a woman to shoot is the equivalent of her trying to convince a man to quilt or knit. Some times you just need to accept the reality of a situation and move on.

Lol, never. My ex loved to shoot. She was a natural shot. When we split up she got my S&W Mod 60 and 10/22 with red dot. I wouldn't want to have her shooting at me with either one!

How long have you been a target?

Worried over your woman having fun shooting

Does every single thing have to revolve around making the little woman happy? If she wants to shoot then let her shoot like every one else. If she wants to be pampered let her stay home with the rest of the kids.

If she's ripped yours off and keeps them in her jar and you have to pat her fanny to let you touch your own gun then try taking your nutz out to the range. Hand them on a string and let her shoot at them. May be even swing them a little like they were still yours if you want her to work at blowing them off. It's not like you were using them any way.

Try those for targets and you'll not get the gun back from her.

I make it more fun for her the same way I do for me.

For example, today at the range we engaged in some actual target practice. Shot a couple mags rested from the bench, shot a few from the sitting position in front of the bench. Had a little competition on squirrel sized targets for bragging rights (I won.)

Then took all the targets away, threw out a couple cans and plastic bottles, and spent the rest of our time making them dance.

We went through about 80-90 rounds each the first hour and a half. And a hundred and fifty or so each in the next half hour or so. Guns got hot, smokin' all over the place, we blew the cans in half, there wasn't much left of the bottles. Now, that's fun

Shotgun shells, apples, ballons, steel, and sometimes little toy action figures... all are all kinds of fun.

Completely unnecessary, dude. Very bad form.

 

[tradertator]

We had some folks get together for a firearm outing, and all the ladies really liked the suppressed stuff.

Par for the course, GT, par for the course.
