Gun Talk

Gabby Franco didn't just compete at the Sydney Olympics — she watched Venezuela strip its citizens of the right that got her there. Now she's got a master's in sports and performance psychology, and she's breaking down the mental game every shooter is missing. Process over outcome, visualization done right, and why awareness is the window to knowledge. This one hits different.

This Gun Talk Nation is brought to you by Ruger, Range Ready Studios, Archon Firearms, Remington Ammunition, Shooting Sports Life, and Colt.
