Episode 18 of JulieG Radio kicks off with a little catch up, hunting stories from the season and my adventures in venison sausage making before jumping into the main topic, the IDPA Back Up Gun (BUG) National Championships. A premiere event hosted by Smith & Wesson, tune in as I share insight on the competition, my gear set up, thoughts on shooting through and how the BUG division format could draw many women who carry small handguns concealed for personal protection into the shooting sports.
