Multi-national and world champion pro shooter and Team Smith & Wesson Captain Julie Golob’s first book, Shoot: Your Guide to Shooting and Competition, will make its public debut at the 2012 SHOT Show in Las Vegas.

Show attendees will have a rare opportunity to meet the author and obtain a signed copy of her book (while supplies last) at Rumpf Outdoor Titles, booth #1962, from noon to 1:00pm on Tuesday January 17, Wednesday January 18 or Thursday January 19.

The first book of its kind written by a woman and shooting champion, Shoot is published by Skyhorse Publishing and is 272 pages and printed in beautiful full color featuring dramatic photos by renowned shooting-sports photographer Yamil Sued. NRA Past President Sandy Froman penned a foreword for the book. Topics covered range from safety and a basic understanding of firearms for those new to shooting to tips and techniques for more advanced competition shooters.

“I am thrilled to be able to share Shoot with the shooting, hunting and outdoor industry at SHOT Show. Being able to attend the show, meet readers and sign copies of the book with the support of Rumpf Outdoor Titles and Skyhorse is such an incredible opportunity,” said Julie.
