I'm pretty anti-women at the moment for reasons I won't go into, but as I see it you can;
1. Tell her you shoot targets, she'll reply with '...What like clay pigeons...?' - Yes, you reply but then tell her you sometimes get asked to sort out pests ( don't mention rabbits ), that pose a certain danger to horses and thus the happines of disabled kids that ride them, that is, of course, when their unemployed/ill parents can gather the money to pay for a single lesson.
2. Tell her you sometimes help a local, elderly gunsmith to complete his tasks. Tell her you work mainly with wood as you like it's flowing lines and beautiful deep grain patterns which reflect the ambient light, strangley enough, just like her eyes do ( then plaster your hands all over her norks and wrench at her knickers).
3. Tell her that one of your OAP neighbours (who has recently lost her lifelong, war veteren, VC winning husband), likes to partake in the odd bit of taxidermy. She can't move her zimmerframe over rough fields to shoot animals by herself (animals that she needs in order to enjoy her hobby and thus stop her from missing her husband and ending up in a retirement home where she'll get beaten ) , so you go along with her to hold the game bag, lamp and other required equipment. Tell her you hate doing it but feel you owe her as these are the people who made Britain Great through living with the Dunkirk spirit in the London underground system whilst fighting off Jack the Ripper, the Black Death and sang 'Maybe it's because I'm a Londoner' etc.
4. Tell her you kill rabbits and other animals that you like to hunt. Tell her this is what you enjoy and who the **** does she think she is to criticise you and something she knows ****-all about. Tell her you won't criticise her daft activities, you won't moan when she spends £150 on more shoes and she can watch all of the episodes of Friends she likes as long as she understands that there sometimes has to be a little give and take, or more simply, her not taking all the time. Let her know that she'll not go wanting and you'll buy her the odd frock and do what needs doing around the house etc. Tell her that if she'll leave you alone to do what you enjoy and not what she thinks you enjoy ( like choosing which herbs would suit the windowbox ), then everything will be fine. Tell her not to be so stupid as to believe meat grows in Sainsburys and take her to a slaughter house to see how it's really 'made'. Then onto a vets to watch a couple of dogs being put down - then place your arm around her gently and tell her how much more effective a well placed bullet/pellet would have been.
I guarantee this final approach will teach her respect for you. Her eyes will mist over like one of the rabbits in Watership Down and soon after that she'll be at it like one of the cast.
Hope this helps - Craig
