Girlfriend and archery

[Muy_Grande]

To the guys out there that have converted their girlfriend/wife into bow hunters or 3d shooters, how did you do it? Mine seems like she wants to but isint 100% ready to jump into it. Any advice

Don't push it mine just came
To me one day and said she wanted a bow... Easy enough

My fiance had never been bow hunting before this year. She went and sat with me all this season and got to witness me shooting my two bucks. Her heart was racing more than mine with both kills. After I shot the first one she wanted a bow. Took her to shoot at Cabelas and she did awesome. Bought her a pink PSE Chaos for Christmas. She's hooked!

See mine would cry if she saw me shoot a deer. I'm leaning more towards 3d to start her out

She watched me shooting everyday in the backyard, and one day just said, "I wanna try that." I got her a bow and the rest is history. Now she's HOOKED and is my favorite hunting partner.

It's easy to create a monster. You have to figure in that you are doubling your cost in all archery gear. But it's well worth it .

whilewe were dating mine told me that she could never get mad enough at a deer to want to shoot it. I told her not to condem me for it till she tried it. that year she shot her first deer (with a rifle). MONSTER CREATED!!!! the next year she had to be on the lease and had to try bow hunting! she got her first bow shot this year and even tho she missed, BINGO! hunting partner created for life. Gotta love it !!!!!

Don't do it! You'll create a monster! J/K. Me and the wife went to cabelas one night and she shot a few arrows. She told me that she thought she might enjoy archery. I bought her a Razors Edge for Christmas last year and she is now a killin machine. Shot two deer opening day. Great way to spend time together. Good luck!

What's a good bow to surprise her with that won't break the bank?

Basically buddies came over and shot a lot she was kinda interested and then the final straw another buddies wife came over and was shooting and that was it...she was wanting to shoot.not animals but target and 3d..now she's shooting Hoyt vector 32 and scoring very high in the 3d tournys women's bow hunter...

Diamond razor edge or a mission bow

My wife wanted to start bow hunting/shooting with me and I bought her a brand new bow and a year and about 50 arrows later I ended up selling it on TBH. It doesn't bother me that she doesn't like to bowhunt, I likes my time away!!

Take her to the bow shop and tell the guys there to set on up she will be hooked.. I took my gf and thats what happened.. Next thing I hear is can I shoot it again?? This is fun.. And so we ordered her a hoyt ruckus.. a youth/womans bow great to start with and it can be ordered in like 6 different colors.. She got a blacked out bow with hot pink strings..
