For BonnieB-sorry I haven't posted, I've been running a business and shooting a charity benefit trap event.....Blur-it sounds like you have a great wife! Hopefully she will keep you around especially after she starts to out shoot you ;-)
After shooting shotguns for about four years and wearing out one field gun (shooting at least 200 rounds per week on a field gun), I finally picked what I think is the perfect shotgun for me.....a Browning 725 Sporting with adjustable comb, 32" barrel. I bought a full set of Briley chokes and am happy as a clam. I started shooting trap, moved to skeet and am now hooked on sporting clays.....
My husband was wonderful in encouraging me to demo as many guns as possible before deciding upon my original field gun. In retrospect-it wasn't the right gun for me, but it didn't matter--I chose it. It kept me shooting. The 725 is lighter and I've dialed in the adjustable comb. I love it and love the 32" barrels. It's smooth and has improved my shooting.
So, BonnieB--there are women out there (not as many as men) who would love to shoot with other women. I have posted on this site about sporting clays fun shoots, but no one has responded. Bummer. I will just continue to go my merry way attempted to encourage women to become shotgunners.
Blur-encourage your wife to try sporting clays! There are some amazing women shooting clays and there is tremendous camaraderie among the ladies.
Happy shooting! BTW--Redlands Fun Shoot 5/26!
