On this week’s show, we’ll hear from Ms. Wheelchair 2013, Ashlee Lundvall, on the challenges of shooting and how to overcome them. And along with that, we’ll have our usual lineup of trending news, events and cool products. Sponsored by Ruger.
Carrie is back in the saddle at the show, during her recovery period from emergency back surgery. Meanwhile, she’s running a cool giveaway at The Well Armed Woman: http://thewellarmedwoman.com/mothers-day-giveaway-2017 Barb is back from the NRA’s Annual Meetings, and reports that this is the year of the woman, in regard to the 2nd Amendment.
Since a paralyzing ranching accident in 1999, Ashlee Lundvall has been redefining her life. She is a champion for change in the many organizations she works with, encouraging everyone to live to the fullest. A natural outdoorswoman and adventurer with a powerful message of adaptability and perseverance, she energizes audiences around the country with her humor and authentic personal stories. 
Passionate about accessible outdoor recreation, Ashlee lives in Cody, Wy., with her husband and daughter. Depending on the season, Ashlee can be found camping, kayaking, hunting, fly fishing, or hand cycling while making a difference in board rooms, consulting businesses and mentoring newly injured patients and their families.
