Shooting too much? ? ?

[CatalinaDave]

Wife used to tell me I drank too much. So I gave up & quit drinkin'.

Now she says I shoot too much!

Is it even possible to shoot too much?

What should I do?

"Take yer best shot at me, iffin' ya miss, throw yer hawks!"
"Keep chewin' powder & spittin' lead"

CatalinaDave :bow:

See if you can get a new gun for you wife. It will be the best trade you've ever made.

Now that you mention it, waaayyy back in my armored car days, a fellow guard had given his wife a condition upon marriage-in order to satisfy his "me time" needs, once a week he was either going to drink, gamble, or shoot. Her choice, and she chose to let him indulge his shooting habits. They've been married thirty plus years now with nary a problem (and he was a damn good shot I might add).

I have done the math, and it's cheaper for you to shoot once a month by far, than to play a round of golf each month, even if you only frequent municipal golf courses. (Assuming that when you shoot you don't include something like a Browning .50 cal or a chain-gun or some such modern nonsense.)

If she thinks you are shooting too much, she may be saying she thinks she doesn't get enough attention from you. So go to dinner, or go antiqueing or something...., :wink:

If you want more shooting time, just tell the wife you want more sex.....you will get all the shooting time you want.

I can testify to that. It worked for me.

Sir,

I do believe that you have the right of it. The simplest (but not cheapest) solution would be to take her with you. Does she shoot? If not, then teach her. That way you spend time with her, and she gets to be 'involved' with your having fun.

Of course this does have the downside that she will acquire a few of your guns in the process...

Whenever I don't have something going on, I go out side and shoot. Sometimes several days in a row. I only shoot 25-30 shots cause I am right here so close and can do it whenever. The only thing Miss Elizabeth complains about is the “stink” of black powder!


Play golf? Ya gotta be kiddin? :barf:

This is your second, subjective "tell me what to do" question. These are things only you can decide for yourself.

This is the truth! My lady bought me a nice (non ML) handgun for our third anniversary. I taught her to shoot it and she took it back, its hers now. (The plus here is I did get another rather nice sidearm to replace it, which I don't let her shoot.. :wink: )
That was 14 years ago, and while she don't much like the ML, (stinks and too heavy for her liking) her only complaint when I want to go shooting is if I don't take her with!

Go shooting then come home and have a drink. :rotf:
