Took the wife shooting yesterday - Page 3 - XDTalk Forums - Your HS2000/SA-XD Information Source!

My wife was dead set against me getting a gun. She used the "D" word when I brought it home. We argued about it for a couple of days. She wanted me to take it back, she wanted me to leave it at my neighbors house, she tried everything.
I joined a range for 4 months and go once every two weeks. I got the cold shoulder when I got home for a couple of weeks. Well, last week I told her I wanted to take this Friday off, but wasn't sure what to do. She said "why don't you go shooting". I played it cool, but inside I was jumping up and down.
Hopefully, I can get her to start shooting with me. She grew up on a farm and was around guns in most of her youth. She is home alone all day, and I would like her to know how to operate the gun "just in case".

You need to get into reloading, I have just started and I can't believe how much less it cost to produce your own

My wife does not want anything to do with shooting and since I setup our spare room for reloading she is really having a fit, she wanted me to do it in the garage but I told her that it stays to dusty for my Blue Koolaid and she just rolled her eyes
