gun safty for young professional women

[fisher]

good morning friends so my wife and I camped all summer then I took her to the gun flint 2 weeks ago. we camped I grouse hunted and she walked with me. she had a vary good time but would have liked to hunt. Or at least have a gun that she could shot with not just the 12ga. so my thing is I need a gun safety teacher for a young professional women? She would like to do all the things online and just have someone walk with her for the last part this is how I did mine and it was Just me and the teacher..

thanks for your thoughts

Was your wife born after 1979? If so she doesn't necessarily "need" a gun safety course to get a license. Although, I would suggest taking a formal class if she didn't grow up around guns and hunting and whatnot. There is a lot of good info to be gleaned. I was taught a gun/hunter's safety course in junior high and I learned a lot even though I grew up around guns and hunting. An actual teacher trained to teach that course will likely do a better a job than what you can do in the field or what can be learned online.

My wife (a young professional) was going to go with the online option but I convinced her to take the real course at a G-Mountain store. She is a city girl and her experience with guns was only that they are used to kill people in N. MPLS and are featured on the news. The DNR classes are offered in the evenings and a range shoot on a Saturday morning. The wife said it was a bit weird taking the class with a bunch of 12 year old boys, but admits it was totally worth it. I think there are classes specifically for adults though.

Shouldn't be too tough to find the time even for a young professional woman.

I haven't heard of a one-on-one thing, but I am sure you can probably work something out.
