Yes, that is my wife, and that is her Browning Citori. She doesn't go to organized shoots, we just go up behind where we live and launch a few for her.
My wife and I used to shoot at a local park, they had open Trap shooting every Wednesday night. The price was modest and it was a great place for both hunters, amatures and competitive shooters to meet as there was no pressure to be the best. We tried shooting at a local hunt club, we went there 2 times. The guys there were very competitive and it simply wasn't any fun. I was a pretty good shot (averaged 22 or 23 out of 25) but certainly not a competitive calibre shooter. My wife enjoyed shooting, but was probalby in the 16 to 18 out of 25 range. Neither of us enjoyed the fierce competiton of hunt club but really enjoyed the park shoot.
We also shot a lot at our land, but due to life changes, we both stopped shooting. I pull a gun out every now and again, but not often enough. I would like to teach my daughter, she just turned 11 and I think she could handle light loads and might find it fun.
Have you ever shot organized "Sporting Clays" anywhere? That is a blast. Very much like golf with a shotgun. Each shooting position is different, sometimes the clays come at you, sometimes breaking away, sometimes overhead from behind. And always at different elevations.
Lottsa fun!!!
