You don't have to "convince" that.........
sweet woman; All you have to do is get it, and surreptitiously put it in a closet, or other area where you keep other such mysterious contraptions. Then, one day when you are putting it in a case to go to the range; She may say something like, "What is that?" "Rifle." "When did you get that?" "Oh, I've HAAD THAAT." "When did you get that?" Oh, I don't even remember, I think it was last year,year before, early." "I NEVER saw THAT." "Well, Dear, I really didn't think you were that interested in my guns, so, I never thought to mention it."(Do not, repeat NOT...even...CRACK a smile, here) "But I've never seen that ONE before." "Well, here Hon, take a look, its made
(insert your favorite must-know info. here), got a really good(favorite method here, i.e. trade, barter, work for hire, etc.)deal on it from(do NOT mention a KNOWN friend here, she'll check
......they ALWAYS do
)(a guy at the show, another guy at another club you met at a match, etc.) "Well, I've never heard you mention it before THIS." "Well, hey Hon, I didn't think you were that interested, but if you'd like, why don't you go to the range with me, I'll show you how to shooot iiiit, we can pakka luunnch, make a DAY of it." If she says "YES", you got a keeper
, or even "yes", there's a hope. If she goes and outshoots you(even if you let 'er), great, keep her interest up. (I hafta be honest here, though, I have no FIRST-HAND experience of this technique
