My wife doesn't say too much about my airguns. She has a couple of $400 or $500 sewing machines she never uses.

If airguns come up in a discussion I say, "Who knows. If the economy goes real bad and we can't use firearms, we may need these airguns to hunt for food and survive!" For some reason that works.

my wife knows I'm obsessed with airguns and hunting she just asks that I don't kill the one squirrel that has moved into a birdhouse that I had made for her,he's a young one and might not be all there in the head since I have 5 tails hanging off this birdhouse.She does get a little jealous about the amount of time I sped working on guns and shooting and the time spent out hunting but I do  make time for her to ballance it out.Anyway she has a scrapbooking problem way worse than my airgun addiction so she tries not to gripe too much.She was the one who wanted my to take out the tree rats that were eating all the birdseed and breaking feeders it's her fault I can't stop now!

That's hilarious Roger.. I've been doing some stock work for the last week - reshaping, staining, etc... and my fiance suggested if I like woodworking so much, I should build her a shoe rack :D guess I'm off to Lowe's again... :emoticon:

I got my girlfriend to shoot my air gun... She couldn't really hit a can that was 17 yards away. But when I get the new trigger in there, I think she'll be able to. XD

She's been talking about getting a real gun and a bow when we move to Oregon.

I've got a wierd one... And damn, do I love her. XD

Let some Racoons loose in the house.

My girlfriend thought that I was some sort of sadistic overgrown kid for shooting crows around my house with my pellet guns. That was until she started getting a family of Racoons that were climbing up to her second story apartment and coming in to help themselves to her cats food. I think the sight of 5 Racoons in her living room and kitchen was the turning point. We now keep one of my pellet guns at her place.

LOL

My girlfriend and I are both pretty wierd... For us, it'll be "The game's just begun."

When we move to Oregon and both have a steady income, I'm going to invest more in my air guns. She's going to get some real guns. "You can keep your air rifles," she says. "Give me the real thing." We're also going to get a bow.

I'm pretty sure I'm going to take her on a hunting trip with her getting probably more kills in than me. She saw a rabbit at a petting zoo, and said, "That's a slow cooker." ^^ I'm a lucky man.

But when hunting, I'm going to take a lesson from the wolves and native Americans... Only kill the oldest and weakest, so there will always be strong game left to breed, and waste nothing.

(Somehow) get her to learn that succesful air/pellet/bb-gun learning & practice is THE best way to become proficent with the "real" thing long before you have them.  Because there is little/no recoil or noise, there are also no excuses for bad form, hold, or trigger control -- none.  

Good habbits start here that last a lifetime -- all the way through the guns that really knock you around and leave your ears ringing, bigtime.

100 million boys in the 30s-40s-50s-early 60s can't be wrong.    :-)
