Interview with Brandi, Owner of ChicShooter.com

chicshooterI first stumbled across the site, ChicShooter.com, a little while ago thanks to a comment on one of my articles. It didn’t take long for me to realize this site’s owner really knew what she was doing. The design and organization were great, the products were well thought out and it fixed a problem that I’ve been seeing constantly since I started GunNoob: it provided gear for women, by women. This wasn’t a group of guys saying “well, we think women want this…” (which usually results in lots of men’s gear painted pink). After looking through the site, I immediately showed it to Mrs. Noob who then put together a list of everything she wants for her birthday. I should rephrase that: what she wants for her birthday is everything on the site (that noise you hear is my bank account screaming). It’s safe to say this businesswoman is on to something.

I was so impressed that I got in touch with the owner of ChicShooter, Brandi, and talked a bit about her and her site. Continue reading

When The Noob suggested I interview Julie Golob for GN a little while back, I practically spit my coffee out all over the keyboard in my enthusiastic effort to respond in the affirmative. Julie is a world-class athlete with some 120 championship titles in seven different action shooting disciplines, as well as an author, veteran, social media consultant and hunter. She also happens to be one of the most gracious and kindest people I’ve come across in the gun world. Her passion for the shooting sports, and introducing new folks to firearms, is virtually boundless. On the heels of her big announcement that there will soon be another little Golob gunner running around, I had the privilege to speak with the pretty powerhouse about writing, shooting, family and how she keeps that signature smile on her face.
