Wife finally shot the AR today.

[Darral27]

Went to the range today with the wife. Tried out the new .45 she got me on friday (which was awesome) and shot some of the other handguns. Met a fellow ingo'er that goes by Miguel on here. Great guy. Let me and the wife try out his Glock 19. Well to wrap up we went over to the rifle range and the wife shot the ar for the first time. She actually went through all but 2 out of the 30 round mag. I am so proud.

And now you get to buy her an AR

I can only hope. Heck, I would even be willing to buy her a pink one if she wanted.

Yikes, I gotta renew my membership, due up next month. Nice little club, glad you guys got out to have some fun!

Gotta check the zero on my .243 next Sat.

Congrats!!!

Now your ammo costs just went up!

I made the mistake of letting my wife shoot my AR a while back. Short story is that she loves it and burns up most of the ammo when we take it out. Between her and my 15 year old, they can go through most of the ammo we bring before I'm done setting up the spotting scope.

Hopefully, you wife either enjoys is to much, she wants one for herself, or likes it, but not enough to eat every bit of ammo you bring.

Is she resting it on the mag? I thought that was hard on the mag.

Once she's shooting, then you can work on improvements.

Ehhh... mags are cheap. Probably not as hard on a Pmag as an aluminum mag. That looks like a PMag.

My arms is too short to hold it up off the table. LOL I probably would have flew off the bench if I hadn't rested it on the mag. Hubby didn't seem to mind. I like it, but maybe just one mag per range trip.

And NO PINK GUNS!!! I'm not a sissy. No offence to the pink gun owners but, c'mon, a pink gun? I guess that's the only way some guys can get their wives in on the action. Uck.

Yeah, once women shoot an AR in .223/5.56, they are addicted. BIG BOOM, little recoil, and a comfortable gun to shoot.

Yeah, I mentioned pink guns to my wife the other day and she seemed offended...

Glad you enjoyed the range time.

I need you guys to talk to my wife. I left for the 1500 Saturday and she said. "You can buy me a handgun if its pink."

I told her there weren't any....

Great job getting her out there. A family that shoots together stays together. Especially if she can out shoot you on distant targets.

 

[lrahm]

I guess that you will have to buy a new AR for yourself.

Who had the crazy length bipod on the rifle next you..that is huge for a benchrest shooting position lol

 

[Darral27]

I hope she gets to where she can out shoot with it. She can do pretty good now with the 10/22. Just needs some more practice with this one. Who knows, Maybe by the end of the summer I will have to buy a AR just for her. I would not mind a bit.

LOL. That is mine. It is a 9-12 inch bipod on a ruger 10/22. I have been meaning to get another one for it but just have not gotten around to it yet. It set up just like it is now when I bought it. I am tall so it is pretty comfortable for me to shoot but the wife and kids do have a little trouble with it.
