"But simply because I’m not that good."

You know yourself and your abilities (at this time) better than anyone. You also have the good sense not to volunteer at this time. Good, adult decision making!

~~~~~~~~~~~~

OTOH, when my wife decided to get her Texas CHL, (at the same time I did -- after moving back to God's Country from MA) I let her shoot my smooth-shooting HK P7 M8 9mm -- while I shot a tiny, subcompact, hard-kicking "backup" .380.

I trained her, but she had only about 100 rounds of practice -- total -- when she shot her TX CHL qual test.

I shot three rounds short of perfect -- and she shot within ten points of me.

~~~~~~~~~~~~

I'm very well trained and with thousands of rounds of experience. But, my daughter carries a featherweight, double-action .38 short-barreled revolver -- and I have a hard time even "hitting the paper" with it. (The long, hard trigger pull and light weight "throws me off"...)

~~~~~~~~~~~~

Perhaps you're shooting a piece/caliber that is uncomfortable for you. Do you mind sharing what weapon you shot/shoot? (Use FReepmail for privacy, if you prefer...)

Actually my aim and hitting the target is very good. I’ve used an M4, a Glock, and an scar.

But I don’t think the shooter is going to let me stand up and get myself set at the window, take aim, have the ex-marine help me position myself and then shoot LOL

By the way, I am glad for you and your wife.
