    No, and let's keep it that way!

    Just kidding... kind of...

    My girlfriend shoots a lot of my guns but has no desire to hunt or in bows.

    My wife doesn't shoot. I have thought about this quite a bit, but I can never come to a conclusion. On one hand, it would be cool to share this part of my life with her, but sometimes I just like being out in the woods alone.

    My wife has shot very little. She does have a bow and is quite good with it. She has sat in a treestand exactly 3 times and got a shot all 3 times. It seems she suffers terribly from buckfever. lol Now, she will go out with me once or twice a year but she carries a camera.

    Jill has killed a few with her bow and a few with her rifle. Since having kids and shooting the buck pictured below, she has taken a break. But, its looking like she wants to start again. We're going to get her a new Mathews this summer and get her back in the tree. I'm looking forward to spending some time with her in the tree again. Hopefully she'll let me film her again so you can see it on Bowhunt or Die Season 2 next fall.

    No interest, and I couldn't be happier. I spend a lot of my time with her as is, I enjoy hunting as my time.

    Picked up a PSE Discovery (like the Gensis bows) for her to tinker around with in the yard with me while I'm shooting during the summers, that way she doesn't feel like Im ignoring her all the time! LOL

    I wish, I think she would shoot, but she always talks about how she wouldn't be able to kill an animal. Her dad grew up hunting and would take her with him sometimes. She actually stopped him from shooting a nice buck one time. I should get tiffany lakosky to call her!!!
