Over the past 16 months of shooting USPSA with my hubby, I've had numerous guys come up to me and say, "I wish my wife would come out here and shoot with me!". I've given lots of thought to what you might do to encourage her to join you on the range.

This article perhaps sums it up better than any other one I've seen. Read it, study it, and next time you ask your gal to go shooting, maybe you'll get a "YES"! ;)

And while you're at it, have her subscribe to The WON's news letter... It's a great informational tool geared towards women in the sport and it's free!

Yeah, get her shooting! Then this happens:

"Here I got you your own CR Speed rig"

"Here's a new M&P for you to try out. Kenny at Speed Shooters tricked it out."

"Yeah, that ammo can full of 9 is for you."

"Like your new range bag?"

"Got you signed up for the Max and Travis class. You'll learn a ton."

Seriously, I couldn't be happier that my wife loves the sport as much as I do. Plus is willing to put in the work to get better. Life is good!
