My wife has already shot sporting clays a couple of times with a pharmacist friend of hers before she met me. This guy is an instructor and taught her how to shoot a little with a 20 ga. o/u. She wants to go and shoot clays with me, but she doesn't want to do it while other people are around because out of 50 targets they usually shoot in the 30's and I shoot in the 40's. She is very competitive and doesn't want to feel the pressure of having to shoot well with all these guys. So, we are probably going to spend a couple of days at Pintail Pointe's bed & breakfast and do some shooting together during the spring when the weather isn't quite as cold.

As far as hunting is concerned, the only thing I think she needs to see is how excited Nitro gets when we get in the field and then she will understand why I feel so bad when we don't knock anything down for him to retrieve. All it will take is a little time and I think I will have her hooked. Speaking of hooked, I already know that she wants to go fishing out on the boat.

She wasn't brought up doing this sort of stuff, but she is definitely interested in it. She has come to the clays range on several occassions just to watch me, my brothers, my dad, and friends shoot.

I'll let you know how it goes in the spring.

far out. that makes me happy to hear that. nothing better than having your soul mate as your hunting, fishing and shooting partner also.

when my wife and i got married we camped out spent our honeymoon in the mountains in montana fly fishing a creek. we was poor as dirt but didn't give a rats rump. we had each other. hard to believe that was 44 years ago. time flies buddy, make use of every minute. if ya don't you'll look back and say "wtf" happened?

have a good one
