[QUOTE="blvette75, post: 1906606, member: 72440"] Hi James, like you in my early 60s, I started taking up hunting again recently. I would address the safety issue with her first, hunter safety programs and just shooting safely in general. As we get older the ability to maintain interest with hobbies are what keeps us active. The fact you want to try something new could be something that could open up an entire hobby for you and there is much to learn in a forum like this and other resources, I hope she encourages you to find new ineterests. I am on my second marriage first wife past away, now I am teaching my 12 year old daughter to hunt and fish and the shooting sports. Although my second wife doesn't necessarily like me hunting, she understands that it keeps my mind and body active, and has provided an additional bond with our daughter. I am sure if you explain the why you want to do it and how you would do this safely she will come around. At our age if we can find something new to learn, that provides some additional incentive to keep fit it is better than watching TV and sitting on a couch and getting older, there are a lot of positives to new activities. Just gently remind her you are not her dad or uncles. Good luck [/QUOTE]
