How many of you guys have wives who shoot or hunt as well? My wife bow hunts, but never with a trad bow. After I got into it, she decided she wanted a recurve. We ordered her a Samick with 30 lb limbs yesterday. Her DL is only about 25'' so I think that will be a good weight for her to start out with. She knows it won't be enough poundage to hunt with, but we'll see how it goes and maybe by the season after this one coming up she can pull a little more weight and actually hunt with it. I'm just excited she wanted to try it!!

My wife loves shooting 3D but not in to hunting anyone.

No, mine doesn't shoot the bow or hunt. She won't even go walk in the woods. Bummer!

My wife shoots, and very well when she practices regularly. Sometimes goes for roves with me, too. Doesn't hunt though.

My wife has started to shoot agian. I like that, more days at the range, more arrows I can make, being together. No, she doesn't hunt.

Mine did until she broke her arm.

My wife used to shoot with me.  Not since our daughter was born almost 16yrs ago.

My wife hunts and shoots both. She also has about a 25" draw. The couple bows she shoots are 40# at her draw. Sometimes I have to scratch my head as to the luck she has when it comes to hunting. I have been at work many times and have her send me pics of her and game. Apparently I have took her to to  many of my honey holes.lol

My better half started to shoot about 2 1/2 years ago......she does not hunt but like to do 3-D and stump shooting. She went to Compton and to the Baltimore shoots with me and we had a ball. She is getting to be a good shot.

My wife shoots once and awhile, but doesn't hunt.

My wife blows the dust off her longbow when we go to ETAR every year. That's the only time she shoots but she does great.

My wife now teaches horseback archery for a local Girl Scout camp. Here she is at her certification clinic in Texas last November.

Just got my wife and custom Flatline Hypertensions longbow just this past March .
When we shoot cold she usually out shoots me . But after about 10 shots or so , she starts to get tired and she starts spreading her shots all over the backstop .
It's great enjoyment shooting with her .

We got started with wheel bows and I got serious into traditional this year. She seen how much fun I've been having at 3D shoots so now she has mike Miller at crooked stic bows making her a 30# longbow now. I can't wait to shoot more with her

FlintNSteel

My wife shoots and hunts.  While she shoots wheel bows now-a-days, she did shoot longbows and took whitetails with that equipment.  Generally, she out shoots me whether with bows or guns.

My wife has no desire to hunt with trad equipment, but she is deadly with a rifle or compound.  She recently tried shooting my longbow and recurves with me and enjoyed it, so I found a used bow for her that fits her a little better so she can goof off in the yard with me and the kids.

My wife shoots with me quite often and is a very active and successful  hunter. Shoots trad with me sometimes, but Hunts with everything except trad gear.

My wife enjoys 3D shoots and this season tried her hand trad hunting turkeys.

Here she is at the Poke and Hope shoot in Maine.

Cool to see that so many ladies are involved too. Mine loves to hunt, so we'll see how it goes. I'm sure she will still hunt with a rifle or her other bow this year, but maybe by next year she will be ready.
