Also, how small a gun will you carry and feel adequately armed and comfortable manipulating the weapon? Dan - Your top choices for holsters designed for women? Steve - I know it's all personal choice, but what's the best location for your carry piece for a female? Dani - Pros and cons of different carry locations for women (IWB, appendix, purse carry, etc.) Jay - Which type of carry do you prefer off or on body and why? Surveyor Seven Do you ladies carry extra ammo ? If so how much and what is your preferred carry position / method ? If I remember correctly neither of you carry a revolver any longer, but Julie when you did carry a J frame, I would like to know how you carried extra ammo, my wife is considering getting a concealed carry permit now. She will either carry the Mdl 36 she has now or I’ll get a new J frame like a 442 with moon clip. Thanks Dustin - What and how do you carry? Tips for ladies on how to carry on body. Shelly Ray what is your preference of carry..inside or outside the waistband? Front, back or side? Does it change with the seasons (clothing differences) Kevin - Should a CWP holder be concerned about printing? I am fairly skinny and I don't want to carry a large caliber pistol, 1911, due to it being obvious, so I carry a Glock 26. Kathy - My biggest obstacle is getting past the ingrained "cold range" mindset. It "feels" so wrong to be loaded anywhere but on the firing line. Any suggestions for overcoming this psychological barrier? Jay - I carry a large usp but it's very hard to find a good holster any suggestions? Anthony Traveling to a match where magazine capacity laws and laws on transporting your firearm change. For example Florida to Massachusetts for IDPA indoors nats are being held. Kelli - When carrying on you...empty chamber or one ready to go? Megan - I've been hearing a lot about new firearms that are on the market. I'm curious what caliber you trust: 9mm or .380?   This episode of Gun Girl Radio was brought to you by… A Girl & A Gun Women’s Shooting League www.agirlandagunclub.com GunGoddess.com – www.gungoddess.com

After an exciting and busy time and the NSSF SHOT Show the Gun Girls are back in action. The season is only a few weeks away and as  Randi Rogers and Julie Golob are planning their calendar they have loads of information to share with their listeners. With so many great sports, matches and events how does one choose where to go? Tune is as the ladies recommend some matches for each sport, give some tips on the best way to plan out your season for success and even give their listeners some heads up on events to keep an eye on during 2014! Main Topic: 2014 Where to Go, How to Get There and What to Watch For Suggested IDPA Matches- Indoor Nationals, Costa Rican Nationals, IDPA Website USPSA Matches- 5 Day Nationals, USPSA Website IPSC Matches- World Shoot, IPSC Website NRA Action Pistol/ Bianchi Cup- World Shoot, Bianchi Cup Nationals, Bianchi Cup Regionals 3Gun- 3Gun Nation, Brian Enos Forum SASS- Winter Range, Convention Steel Challenge- Nationals, West Coast Steel How to Get There- What are the most important matches to you? Can you work in a practice match? What to watch for this year: NRA Show, All Women's 3Gun, Rockcastle Thunder Games Listener Questions: Brian: Question for both of you. I just got caught up with Top Shot Season 4 and it was great to see Julie as the M&P expert (gee, wonder why). Unfortunately there was less than 1 minute's worth of instruction that the viewer could use as take home points. Julie and Randi, can you expand on how you handle moving targets? Do you ambush or track them, or do something completely different? Cherie: Hi Julie and Randi, In last week's episode you both said that the Bianchi World Shoot is on your goal list this year. I'm excited to be going to Bianchi this year too. And you also mentioned that you might talk about practicing for events, so... I'm wondering if you have any tips for training for the Bianchi match, in particularly the mover if you don't have access to practice on one? Thanks Matt:  How about the NRA action pistol world shoot at Rock castle. Same as Bianchi? Jason: Running any new gear this year or trying out any new shooting sports? Alvin:  Any new "rising stars" that we should keep an eye on for the new season? Also, unrelated to the shooting season, what would be a good gift to a new shooter? (Namely my younger sister, college aged) Eric: Will either you or Julie be shooting the 2013 Single Stack nationals this year? If so, what pistols will you use?

Most Rewarding Part Favorite Moments 2014 Matches Gun Girls are Looking Forward To Hunting Activites Other Events Goals Wishes, Wants Dreams- Gun Girl Style Links : Duluth Lifetime Leather Travel Bag Listener Questions: Larry : hello, I am writing to you to thank you for bringing up the subject of children and firearms and how important it is to keep them safe.  my son is almost 4 and has a very strong interest in all things that go bang or boom.  We have taught him that guns are dangerous and that they could really hurt him but because he is still a kid we know that it may not be enough.  His mother and i bought an airsoft for him that he is using to learn to shoot.  we treat it as if it were a real firearm right down to putting it into the safe when we are done using it.  also we use eye protection.      We are teaching him to come and find an adult if he finds a gun somewhere.  This is working because he spotted a shotgun hanging on a wall as a decoration at a friends home a couple weeks ago and asked repeatedly why it wasn't locked up where no bad guys could get it.      Toy guns are difficult but so far we have been able to buy them to be either white bright orange or green to make them appear ad far removed from a real gun as possible.  we are making the effort to make him treat them as if they are real.     he watches everything that i do with a firearm whether it be cleaning or dry firing and it has been some really quality father son time for us.  he has won more than 1 cookie in our family airsoft challenge.      Talking with the parents of your child's friends is also important.  My nephews mother was trribly afraid of firearms until one day that they were here.  my nephew wanted to shoot the airsoft gun.  she was hesitant so i asked her to shoot it first.  It took her a little while to decide to but by the end of the night she was shooting .22 revolver and is considering some safety training and a pistol of her own.  We showed her our safe and how everything was stored in a safe manner.  She thought that all of us gun owners stored our stuff under the bed or hung it on the wall.  Another of my wifes friends carries a revolver in her purse and if they would not have talked about that they wouldn't go to a range together once in a while.      My views have changed through the years i used to think that my fathers hunting rifles hanging high up  on the bedroom wall with the ammo in his closet was good enough.  Now i realize the value of a good safe or locking gun cabinet.      As a funny aside my boy has taken his mothers side in the Glock vs XD argument around this house.  I traded my glock for an xds.  sorry for he book but i hope this helps. Raccoon1969: Ladies, Just listened to your Winter Shooting Fun episode, I really like the idea of putting hand warmers in the magwell.  For shooting in the snow, you both or invited to the \"Nor'easter\" match at Harvard Sportsmen's Club, northwest of boston, at the end of January.  The past two years it has snowed during the match.  Last year the was significant snowfall over night before the match. One more thing, I really like the idea of the hand warmers on the shoulders,

With Winter here Gun Girl Radio is talking all things winter shooting! Tune is as Randi Rogers and Julie Golob get back to competitive shooting and go over tips tricks and advice for practicing in the snow. Starting it with a discussion of how cold is too cold, getting to the range in the snow, layering up and then specific snow practice drills. As they wrap it up Randi and Julie also cover some listener's cold weather questions and a what is on a Gun Girl's Christmas List. Main Topic: Gun Girl Winter Shooting Fun  How cold is too cold? Dry cold vs. wet cold Preparing to get to the range- Winter Driving considerations What to wear to prepare for the cold. Gloves or no gloves? Shooting with Snow on the ground. Time of day to shoot? Eye protection changes Bringing warm liquids Cold Weather Shooting Drills Indoor Shooting Dry Fire Links : Duluth Leather Bag Duluth Longtail Long Sleeve Shirt Brass Mats Listener Questions: Jason: Find any gloves that actually keep your hands warm and allow you to pull the trigger? Surveyor: any tricks for not loosing your brass in the snow for us compulsive reloaders, I use the big blue trap are there better options? Kitty: How do you stay warm on the range? Any snacks/food that helps take the chill off? Susan: Best undergarments or pants to wear in low temps? Manuel: This is for Julie who has a daughter. I have a 5 year old son who is starting to play with toy guns. I\'m not sure whether I should let him shoot at other kids (the toy doesn't really shoot anything) or whether I should tell him about the safety rules. This would mean essentially toy guns are never to be used since you really have to point and shoot and keep your finger on the trigger. I would hate to be \"that\" parent (and probably confused with a gun banning type who would prohibit kids from ever touching even a toy gun). On the other hand, if I want to teach my children about firearms it may be hard for them, at least initially, to keep real from fake gun being confused. It seems there is no middle ground. Any thoughts? Thanks.  This episode of Gun Girl Radio was brought to you by… A Girl & A Gun Women’s Shooting League www.agirlandagunclub.com GunGoddess.com – www.gungoddess.com

This episode of Gun Girl Radio is all about plates, and we’re not talking steel targets, but rather favorite food dishes! Tune in as Randi Rogers and Julie Golob take a break from guns and shooting and share what food fuels Randi and Julie both in competition and at home. The hosts start off with some of their favorite foods as well as how they eat while traveling and shooting. They share snacks that both store well and taste great on the range, the craziest foods they have ever eaten as well as go over a whole host of favorites. Main Topic: Gun Girls Favorite Plates- Food Plates Favorite Childhood Meal/ Throwback meal Favorite Meal of the Day Main Dishes - last supper? Shooting/Hunting Snacks Range Food Favorite Game Recipes Cooking Tips Craziest things Gun Girls have Eaten Links : Randi's Grandmother's Chili Listener Questions: Tom J: Good day gun girls. Randy I have a question for you. How did you like the episode you did on TAC TV with the Glock torture test and were you surprised as I was how reliable the Glock is? Because of that episode on the torture test of the Glock I\'m thinking about getting one. Also because of you two gun girls I\'m thinking about getting in to competition next year. Keep up the good work with the podcast shot sight and safe. P.S. Randy should've shot first Matt : Hey Ladies, I have a question about your ammo show.Great timing by the way. How much cushion do you leave yourselves over minimum powerfactor? Before Bianchi I was 100-120 over using 2 different chromos. After my first day of shooting I was hit for chrono there. Not a good feeling on your maiden voyage. Luckily their gun was a wore out 4\" 66 which explained my getting flagged. My vcomp only made pf by 23fps on their chrono. Made me wonder how much to pad myself without going too high. Thanks and have an awesome holiday season! take care,Matt Raccoon1969: I listened to episode 31 yesterday after seeing it on the IDPA blog, sorry it took so long. I listen to several other shows from FRN and didn't think I had time to add one more.  But after listening to you two on #31 I have added this to my must listen list.  I shot my first IDPA match 2 years ago the day after Thanksgiving and got hooked.  The BUG nationals were my very first national level match, and I loved it.  And agree with what you said about the match.  The reason I have added this to my listening list is they way you two interact with each other, that is great to find two people that work so well together. Earl  How to train when it is cold and raining.

This past week both Randi Rogers and Julie Golob went to participate in the inaugural IDPA BUG Gun Nationals. The ladies go over all the information of the match and the behind the scenes action. Tune in as they share information on the guns they used, their favorite stages and the practice and planning that went into attending the match. Main Topic: IDPA BUG Gun Nationals Match Info: Dates, Location, Attendance BUG Divisions and Equipment Stages - What they included, what made them challenging Squads and Scheduling Match Staff Assistance and Support Overall Coverage Links: Randi's Favorite Stage BUG Gun Results IDPA Blog- Sponsorship, Stages, Results Match Info on IDPA.com Listener Questions: Michael - Great podcast. Julie you can fill my primer tubes when you are bored! I add dryer sheets to my brass when tumbling. It helps get the dirt, lead, bad particles out. Randi - How do you use or apply the turtle wax to your brass? Armando - Are you using a pre-recall shield? Joyce Wilson - It was GREAT to see you and the little one! Glad you're back to shooting ( at least a little :-)) Jason - Curious do know how you handled logistics (luggage, kids, etc.)? I traveled alone to the match and felt like I'd brought every piece of luggage I own. How do you do it? Lisa - What are the top three first training goals for a new competitor to IDPA competition? David - How well did the Shield perform? Any issues? Thanks! Eric - Assuming it is all close and low round count am I correct in assuming the fractions of a second count even more than in a traditional higher round count / distance match? Tang - Another Shield question for Julie. Do you like it better than the Compact model? Robert - What's the biggest difference between shooting an M&P FS/Pro and the Shield on the clock? Richard - What kind of ammo did you use being its a shorter barrel on your shield. Can you shoot +p ammo through M&P's Kruzer - For an experienced shooter in other areas wanting to get involved in IDPA would this have been a good match to start with? Nick - What were the hardest shots in the Match? William - What are the regulations as far as caliber and firearm size? Bryan - Loving the reloading episode. One of the items that I got when we moved to our new house was a 9x12ft man cave to use for guns and reloading. I custom built a 2x8ft bench with hardwood top. When I first built it, it was lots big but as my hobby has grown, it\'s getting squishy. Adding a Dillon 650 is mostly responsible. Randi - a tip for tumbling brass. I agree that emptying the media is the highest risk for lead contamination. I use a mask and tumble in the garage like you do. I also add a dryer sheet into the mix. This absorbs a bunch of the fine particles and helps cut down on the dust released. PS - Julie, the fenced in stage with little ones is a lot to get used to but before you know it they are past it. Sounds like you are enjoying the kids. Fantastic. We had a really nice letter from Eric. Eric was the one who wrote in asking for an ammo podcast so we thank him for giving us such a great idea! If you have an idea for something you like use to talk about please write in with ideas.   This episode of Gun Girl Radio was brought to you by… A Girl & A Gun Women’s Shooting League www.agirlandagunclub.com GunGoddess.com – www.gungoddess.com
