[QUOTE="beast1989, post: 1914809, member: 15449"] Layoff on teaching her field stripping and cleaning because that could make it seem like a chore and too much to deal with. I'm fortunate that mrs beast understands the importance of being able to operate firearms. She can field strip, clean, load, shoot and everything else for all the handguns and shotguns but she doesn't like to do the range outings so much, however she is a good shot. I got my lady involved by taking advantage of some of the things she had been wanting me to do with her for quite some time. If she wanted to go to see a chick flick or walk around the botanical garden I would say sure but then she has to do the same for me. She agreed and naturally my "thing" was always the range. I never let her know my intent nor did I ever display how anxious I was to teach her how to shoot, it just let the situation develop naturally and slowly and it worked. Some months we made it to the range twice and other times we maybe skipped a month. During the range outings I would tenderly (for lack of a better term) show her techniques and proper handling and she picked it up in the end. I guess you can say I gave her a training course without her really knowing it but that took the stress off the situation. Like ProBusuness said, it is important to keep them in their comfort zone.
