Wow, Dave. That is so awesome that your wife has the same interests in side by sides like you do! There is a sign in one of thr gunshops I visit that says: "Your wife called and said you could buy all the guns you want." Good joke about most wives, I'm sure. But you're one lucky guy!! Good luck!!
Thanks, Jimmy.
My wife became interested in shotguns as a byproduct of hunting. We bowhunted together when we were first married. We then decided we wanted a hunting dog. She really likes dogs and dog training, so she wanted her own gun so we could hunt together. She bought her first side by side 25 plus years ago.
She has always liked woodworking, so she taught herself checkering and does some light refinishing of stocks. Its has worked out well for us.
