Never be sorry about helpful hints.
To be honest, it's hard to teach your wife anyway but all of my defensive and offensive training with a handgun, has been with revolvers.

Most of my handgun hunting is either with single shots or big revolvers.

The BFR is the most difficult gun I have to shoot. Slow lock time and muzzleheavy. It's more like shooting a bow as far as maintaining my stance.

Transiting into an auto has been an exercise in patience. While I know the talk, the walk takes concentration.

Trying to correct her techniques without passing on my bad habits is tough.

I will testify *not from PeterNap's teaching* but from having a loved one trying to teach/enhance/correct my shooting, it's a LOT harder to take their suggestions sometimes. It was much easier for me to learn from someone who was a family friend but who I didn't have to go home with at the end of the day. Not that I don't appreciate my traveling companion's help but its very hard to take his advice sometimes. Maybe that's why I ran into a guardrail...

(if he ever reads that I'm in trouble :D)

Candy, I'll help you with marksmanship any time you want... You don't know me, so you can bring your travelling companion too. I've met a few folks on here. They can attest that I don't bite (although they've seen my kids put away some serious groceries at a cople dinners and picnics).

For anyone here on OCDO, I won't even charge. Just bring your gun & bb's. I have the targets and the range.

My "creds": Military marksmanship instructor from 1985until retirement in 2005
Top 10% finish, National Pistol Trophy Match atCamp Perry1993
Distinguished Pistol Shot 1994

I teach part time now. I usually charge $20/hr, but for my friends here that have answered my silly questions, helped me when I was lost and given fellowship at dinners and picnics. My chance to "give back" to the OCDO community.
