Congrats on the GF, the Shooting, and the gun. In THAT order.

Never give up, never surrender!

Keep getting better and shooting straighter.

Thanks Scott and Hector. Still a ways to go but had no choice...lol. I shoot good enough for me and have never claimed to be a great shooter, but when I'm finally past this, at least I'll be able to screw up from both sides...lol. Now with decent weather, my little redheaded enabler is going to learn to shoot with the rifle she bought me

I'm just happy having a girlfriend who enables my addiction. Bonus points if I can teach her to shoot and actually have a shooting partner. Only problem I can foresee is her seriously taking a liking to shooting and I may never get to shoot it...lol.

Mark, to be honest, the choice was actually hers. I was just aimed at getting one from PA when they came back in stock. Part was wanting an R7 .20, part was knowing she can't handle my bigger rifles, but the R7 was a rifle I could/should be able to teach her to shoot with. If not for her, someone else would own it...lol

Congratulations on your ability to find a way to solve a problem both with companionship and shooting. I hope the right arm issue is not permanent and that you do get better in the future. 

I'm one of those goofy people who are ambi-confused on handedness.  As a kid I did most things poorly until I figured out that I could do both ways.  I found that shooting was easier left handed because of left-eye dominance but writing was easier right-handed.  Somewhere in my mountain-man fascination, I decided to learn to shoot rifle, pistol, and shotgun both ways --- and for grins throw knife and tomahawk both ways. I wasn't particularly good with all of that but found it useful when I got into competitive rifle shooting.   Right handed gear was much cheaper!!!!  Shotgun, I shot trap against myself 22 ave left, 21 ave right!!

Scroll forward a decade, I was burned in an accident that caused eye issues big time. Completely blind for months! Finally,  my left eye was pretty bad so I had to switch over to right-handed.  Scroll forward 4 more decades, completely blind in my left eye and an inoperable cataract in the right eye.  I can still shoot because of scopes!!!!  That's the only time I can really see clearly is over the cross hairs.

Regarding the lady:  if she is a keeper, do so!  I met my lady at Halloween, engaged at Christmas and married in the following August.  This year is 50 for us!!!  She came along through 30surgeries and hospitalizations and a lot of other junk!!!

Good luck and keep shooting!!!! But more importantly be good to the lady!!!
