The wife was very interested when she learned that I carried a gun all the time. I was able to help point her in the right direction and told her not to just learn to shoot and be safe, but to take classes. And she did! I received an email from her this morning:
Hi, Jim.
Just wanted to let you know that all those practice we did in firearms 101 class (technique, stance, how to hold and shoot a handgun) paid off. Johnathan and I both harvest our first deer this weekend. We are so excited! We now have two deer for the freezer!!
And as an extra bonus, I was able to put to practice what I learned from pistol class regarding target acquisition and shot a coyote on the run. The moment it stopped and turned sideway, I got him.
That is just too neat. The whole concept of firearms was completely foreign to her and her husband. That has all changed.
Here is a photo she sent me from a class she was taking. She is a little thing .. can't weigh 90 pounds soaking wet.
