Try to get he to shoot with you one evening, but make it fun. You need targets that knock over or react in some way. I got my wife to start shooting with me that way. 204ruger exploding soda cans. But she prefers the airguns due to noise.

Need Advice on Which Airgun to Keep
- Thread starter Chefman
- Start date
Honestly if she doesn’t understand now that this is an important part of your life, as is she, then she needs to come to that realization. Also you’ll take a financial beating selling all of those and I’m guessing there is no emergency that needs quick cash. Keep what you have and buy more when find something you want and can afford.

I love that advice you’re absolutely right there is no emergency and I would definitely take a financial beating. That’s another point. I could use to drive home if this situation our conversation comes up again between She and I I’m not sure if you read the previous post, but I’m going to build a gun room in the basement and one of the guest rooms that we do not use that will be a dedicated gun room

You could show her some hickok45 videos on YouTube......He is a retired school teacher and has a blast shooting his PB guns.
What really got my wife interested in handguns was when the show Sons Of Anarchy aired. She was impressed with the character Gemma Teller played by Katey Sagal. It also helped that I'm a life long biker that road Harley's and motocross.

To get your wife or girl interested set up some targets she can relate to.
Get some old rusty pots and pans that got tossed and hang them up like gongs, something that will make some noise!
Some women hate cooking and others hate doing dishes!

Mine wouldn’t care if I owned 200…. Last year I had her spotting on the handheld thermal while I was shooting mice on the hillside. Now I’m putting her a setup together because she wants to shoot with me. I do my best to encourage and not discourage her. But I’ve gotten several people into airguns, it’s been fun. I’m trying to get some targets made to make a fun range at home.

Buy her the Black Wolf. Then help her shoot it. Use full soda cans. Each one she hits will make her laugh. Keep all the other guns especially the Benjamin.
Now when you have some time to yourself sneak out the Black Wolf ,and shoot the hell out of it. Get her a
Sigsauer Virtus Wemon love the just pull the trigger 30 times thing.

That's a hell of a pickle you've got yourself in. Save yourself future aggravation and get rid of the fiancé.

He’s marrying the fiancee and keeping “all“ his PCPs the OP is a genius. He got the AGN community to overwhelm his future bride with sensible “keep all your PCPs” postings…

I don’t know you or your significant other. But I can tell you this whatever precedent you set now will ripple through your marriage like a stone dropped in a pond.
To put it plainer if she/he is pissing in your cheerios now. I wouldn’t expect that to get better with time.
