Is there a chance that she may want to pursue organized clay target shooting? If so you may want to supply a gun that is comfortable to shoot and simple to manage. At this point having fun is job one.

I didn't learn to shoot a DT until my mid 30s. It was easy.

I didn't learn to drive a manual transmission until my mid-20s - also easy. I taught my wife how to do it in a half hour in her mid-20s.

I strongly disagree. The more she shoots a single trigger the harder it will be to get her to accept double triggers. This is your window of opportunity.

Congratulations, but that is absolutely not the norm.


May God bless America and those who defend her.

I taught my 20 year old wife how to drive a stick in my 69 428 Cobra Jet Torino 😳! We survived the whiplash. The real test was loading/unloading boats on steep ramps in my 3/4 ton 4x4 stick Suburban!…….. she got pretty good at it!

Based on what? I've only seen a couple of people struggle with them, the rest - all mid 20s or older - all picked up double triggers pretty fast.

That was quite the beast to start her out on.
