    Best Significant Other....

    So, I just came back from the Rogers Shooting School, and find that my wife, while I was gone, bought me...


    ....a Dillon Super 1050.


    I love my wife.

    What the best shooting thing your significant other has done for you?

    Not made an issue of it every time I tell her about "this class that's a once in a lifetime opportunity and I can't miss it". She knows it usually means $ and being gone all weekend. I have to stop using that "once in a lifetime" line though. Even I don't believe that any more.

    15 cases of 9mm showed up, via UPS, and my wife said she was glad I had a hobby that I enjoyed.

    Pfft. Mine sponsored me my last two Awerbuck classes so he wouldn't have to go alone.

    Where do you find these women? All my wife does is "bitch" about my hobby.

    My wife is also a shooter, so that makes it really nice. Don't really need to do any explaining to go to competitions or a training class, or to buy equipment.

    Granted, it is a bit more expensive---she is fine with me buying new guns. However, for each new gun I get, she gets a new one also.

    Said, "Yes," when I suggested doing this instead of getting a real job.

    Every now and then, when I'm more grumpy than usual, my wife suggests that I go to the range. LOL. She can tell if I miss it ... it's like my reset button.

    On my birthday 12 days before we got married she gave me a gun that I remarked I would like to have. She has insisted that she bought that gun for me to shoot and not sit in the safe. 25 years and many thousands of rounds later it just has been retired. Only recently I have retired that gun to the safe since it just started to give me trouble (hope the wife doesn't go the same way; LOL) up to this point it was completely trouble free.

    Two years ago with the kids grown she insisted that I start competing again and thus my IDPA career was born.

    Held up the targets after I ran out of staples.
