SHE SHOOTS – Episode 5: Long Shot Ladies
This month, we talk to Lauren Straud and Christie Tubb; Extreme Long Range (ELR) competitive shooters. We’ll talk about how they got into the sport, how they train, experiences and successes.
Guest Speakers:
Lauren Straud
Lauren Stroud is 34 years old and she recently tied the knot with Chase Stroud whom she likes to brag has one of the best Extreme Long Range (ELR) minds in the sport! When She first met Chase, She had never shot a precision rifle before. The very first day they met, he had her do a test: if she missed, he got to kiss her! Lauren is very competitive, but she also wanted that kiss! She rose to the challenge and hit all the targets on the first try except one. That way she still hit the targets, and she still got her kiss! Chase and Lauren are now happily married PewPew Partners for life!
When Lauren was just starting out, Chase let her try his military version of the .375 EnABELR, the first time she shot it, she was hooked! He helped guide her on at 2 Miles! From there, she kept wanting to shoot his gun so much that he got her a base for my own .375 EnABELR as a Christmas present. This had an Accurate Rifle Systems chassis. It was gorgeous, but she was so comfortable with his Cadex chassis, she wanted one of those too. This had her switching over to Cadex. She now has her very own custom dream rifle Where’s Waldo/Lauren Robins Egg Blue Dual Strike chassis.
Her biggest accomplishment thus far is her 3 mile impact back on October 25th! She was practicing with Chase for their goal to document getting impacts at 3 miles on the same day. Chase’s rifle wasn’t ready that day, but hers was, so she had to see if it could make it for the future couples 3 mile hit.
Lauren and Chase both love going to competitions and practicing, testing, and just taking their rifles to their limits.
There are so many people out there that have no idea what their rifles are actually capable of. She wants to positively expose it, and hopefully interest more people to the ELR sport. Lauren wants to see a more positive light shined in on responsible gun ownership. She is also a women’s business owner of Pump’s Precision Rifle Training, LLC where her husband Chase trains ELR and much more. If anyone is interested in becoming an ELR shooter or wants to brush up any skills, check them out on their website, Facebook, Instagram or YouTube.
