Team Captain Julie Golob Marks 7th Anniversary By Receiving Top NRA Action Pistol Distinction
GOLOB RECEIVES DISTINGUISHED BADGE
Seven-year Smith & Wesson Shooting Team Captain Julie Golob has recently been awarded the National Rifle Association (NRA) Action Pistol Distinguished Badge, one of the NRA’s most prestigious shooting awards. A member of Smith & Wesson’s elite shooting team since 2006, Golob is one of just four women who have earned this coveted award designed to recognize excellence in the area of competitive shooting. A three-time NRA Action Pistol Women’s Champion, Golob’s fierce determination and remarkable skill set has made her a familiar face in the winner’s circle at many of the sport’s premiere events. Throughout her noteworthy career, Golob has established an NRA Action Pistol Women's National record on the Moving Target course of fire as well as being named a four time Military and Women's Shoot Off Champion.
Julie Golob is one of only four women who have been awarded this prestigious status.
Despite her hectic schedule as a mother of two, devoted wife, published author, firearms instructor and spokesperson for many of the industry’s most recognizable brands, Golob made time to sit down with Paul Pluff, Director of Marketing Communications for Smith & Wesson, and reflect upon her storybook career. PP: Julie, first off, congratulations on receiving the NRA’s Action Pistol’s Distinguished Badge. By now, your trophy shelf has turned into more of a closet, but this is certainly one honor that we know means a lot to you. JG: Thank you. I’m extremely honored to join the ranks of the incredibly talented shooters who have earned this distinction. It has been on my bucket list since I started competing in the Bianchi Cup and I’m very proud of this accomplishment.
