I got my wife into shooting guns the last time she was out here. Seems most people in England have never held, much less fired, a firearm. I have quite a lot of land in the country here in Texas and I had her out with a shotgun, automatic rifle and a .44 revolver.
She and her teenagers had a great time but weren't able to hit a thing with them. They also had, at first, a horrible sense of gun safety which is understandable coming from an area where guns are forbidden. Once I got them past things like pointing a loaded and cocked weapon at their own feet they were fine and there were quite a few smiles all around. My wife is quite petite and I have some cute photos of her firing a shotgun in which you could see the shotgun is nearly picking the poor gal up off the ground.
I would have to say the things I got them into here, that they didn't have there, that they would consider their favourites are: WalMart shopping, Chinese and Steakhouse buffet restaurants, shooting guns, and going out after dark and being able to see stars in the sky from horizon to horizon. That last one had my wife crying since she can't see much of the night sky like that from London.
