Congrats on your new discovery! and welcome to TFL.
I demanded to learn about guns when my boyfriend (now fiance) moved one into our house. It was a great discovery for me.
Enjoy!

LadyDeeJ and you other ladies who have a problem with shotguns should check out;

www.shotgunreport.com/GG/GGIndex.html

Click on Lonestar 4, there is some interesting and humorous information on handling shotgun recoil by a lady trapshooter. The information is a couple of years old but still appropriate.

Ladydeej>> That's quite impressive for your first time out. What no Barrett 50?? Maybe tomorrow.

You sound like my kind of woman. Are you attached?

Jessica Wellman · August 11, 1999, 11:22 AM

Yes Leadfoot I'm attached. My reasons for coming on TFL are not only to learn, but to share my newest hobby with people who care. My husband is not exactly "anti gun" he's more "anti WIFE with a gun."

Every time I mention my excitement he begins a new subject material. He's never tried to stop me from doing what I want to do, but learning about firearms is getting right up there in the "no no" category. My husband frequently uses facial expressions. Anyone who's been married knows those 'ole facial expressions, I'm referring to.

On the other hand, he also knows how stubborn I can be. I'm moving straight ahead. While his approval is important to me, this is more important. Hum..that sounded a bit selfish didn't it? I've never stopped him from doing what he wants. I guess I'm merely demanding the same respect. ???? Anyway,

TFL is a place where people understand my interest in firearms. I have another lesson scheduled with a different instructor. I haven't seen his gun collection, but I hear he's well armed. I guess I'll find out. Wish me luck.

Speaking of a lead foot, I have one of those!!! I'm hoping to get pulled over so that I can see what the sheriff is packing…

To LDJ and the other women who have had negative experiences dealing with men on the subject of shooting: That is regrettable and not necessarily typical of all male shooters. If you count the hairy legs on this thread and divide by two, you'll see that many of us don't feel that way.

Best wishes for your continued enjoyment of the sport.

Please talk to my wife for me...Just kidding. I do wish that she liked to shoot as much as you do. Congratulations and good shooting.
P.S. Has your husband ever used a firearm before? Include him on your next outing and you might convert him to the dark side.

It is better to have a gun and not need it than to need a gun and not have it.
