Special day today for my wife... She's shot before a few times, once on a shared lesson with me, then at the have a go stand at a game fair, and then having caught the bug, a few times with the "Shotgun and Chelsea Bun Club".
Back in April she applied for her certificate and today she texted me whilst I was at work to tell me it had arrived. Very happy she was too, especially as I recently bought her a gun (having previously only borrowed one).
Knowing she'd be itching to get out and try it out, we found the nearest ground that's open on Saturday afternoon (millride, near Wolverhampton) and set off. The layout is very compact, but the staff were very friendly and welcoming as neither of us had visited before. Made us feel at home and showed us where everything was, then it was off for a round of 50 sporting.
Needless to say my wife enjoyed her first outing "on her own" immensely and is very pleased with her new gun.
I enjoyed sharing the experience with her, although I can't say I'm overly satisfied with my score.... Maybe I need a nice new gun too...
