It's clearer, but it could use a little more polish. ?Trap, literally? ?Trap, how? ?What is her objective? ?To trap him in the woods so that she can get her revenge? ?Or trap him so that she can turn him over to the police?
And if his drawing a gun on her is the tipping point, the inciting incident that triggers her to take action (finally), then it needs to be at the beginning of the logline rather than the end. ?Something like:
"When a violently abusive husband draws a gun on his wife, she..."
Well, what? ?What does she do? ?What must she (finally) do to stop the abuse, save her life?

Thanks for clarifying. My points still stand.
For not giving away the ending, try hinting at it. She has to get to a hidden gun, which implied she wants to turn the tables. Something like that. Something that is still a goal but just doesn't elaborate on what exactly she's doing.
