Well we’ve been shooting at least once a week. Here’s a pic of the wife’s best group so far at 200yds off a bipod and rear bag. She loves her gun.

My wife and I are booked for Oct 21. She surprised me for our 20th anniversary next year. Like you this will be my second trip but my wife’s first. She’s decided after all these years together that she wants to hunt herself. That made me super excited. Already bought her rifle and a couple new...

Wife out shooting her new rifle. She made several shots today at 600yds. She moved up to 200-400 and started practicing shooting off sticks. Making several hits off the sticks. Darn good job for her first time with them.
