The Women’s Gun Show Episode #65: Ladies Pistol Project

On this week’s show, Barbara Baird talks to Ann Smith of the National Rifle Association’s publications team, about the American Rifleman Ladies Pistol Project. Julie Golob gives advice on how to “cure the jerk” on a trigger finger. Carrie Lightfoot and Barbara discuss cool products, shooting events and firearms news. Sponsored by Ruger and NRA Women.
