"You're holding it wrong." We've all heard it, and we've all rolled our eyes ... but what if we are holding it wrong? 
Or, more precisely, what if we held it better? Knowing how to properly grip your pistol could mean the difference between tolerating shooting and actually enjoying it. Becky Yackley has the details.
When you're comfortable and confident in your clothing, when you know that it won't let you down (and that you look good in it), you'll enjoy your time on the range or in the field so much more.

"This is the time when we need people to stand up for the NRA and everything that we believe in. I really do think that the NRA is the only organization that can save our Constitution, save the Second Amendment. We are the only one strong enough. And we need women fighting for our rights." NRA Board Member and Second Amendment stalwart Barbara Rumpel's a hero for NRA Women ... find out why here.
