[HICKMAN]

We probably saw this one coming.

Columbia, Missouri - Professional shooter Jessie Abbate has signed with Team Smith & Wesson. Ending months of speculation, Abbate joins a multi-disciplined team of experienced professional shooters. Abbate is considered by many to be the rising star in the shooting sports and is expected to take women's shooting to a new level.

Not shocked.

Now, Julie and Jessie, go "work out your differences" and let me watch.

SWEET!! now can we see more pictures of her?

I wouldnt care if she was on TEAM pepridge farm. Im not looking at whats in her hands.

 

[HandK]

S&W should have a real good team with her on board.

ROFL, not until they take some... but we'll be waiting

S&W should have a real good team with her on board.

They already have the (1) best revolver shooter of last 25 years, and possibly ever (Miculek), (2) the most decorated female action shooter of all time (Julie Goloski-Golob), and (3) one of the most decorated all-around pistol shooters of all-time (Koenig).

Jessie is a great talent and great addition, but Team S&W was stacked before she signed on.

Makes me a very proud M&P shooter!!!

Dare I suggest it's even more "stacked" now?

have to admit I'm a little suprised, considering S&W already had Julie. I half expected Jesse to end up with a company currently w/o a major sponsored shooter, like a STI (she had been shooting open recently) or CZ, or perhaps join Max at Sig.

Makes me wonder if Julie will be at S&W long term...

Suggest away. But, like rvb, on the face, I find this an odd move on S&W's part.

 

[HICKMAN]

I wouldn't have been surprised to see Jessie go to Sig, that would have been a good combo.

 

[jonny4523]

I guess I'm just surprised that Glock let her go and couldn't give her a better deal than S&W. I wouldn't mind seeing Springfield take another shooter.

I am wondering if Julie is going to be going more into a manager of the S&W team role more than shooting and Jessie is going to do the shooting.

I got to stand 3 feet from Julie while she was talking to Randi Rogers at Area 6. Bill and I just happened to park right next to both of them. Julie was talking about how hard it is to travel and be on the road now that she has a toddler at home. She even spoke about this on the Gun Nuts interview about how training has become very different for her now.

That would make sense.

 

[Coach]

Let's not forget that other lady that Smith and Wesson has; Kay Clark-Michlek. Think of the photo shoot opportunities with Kay and Jesse.

That would make sense. She's also pretty active promoting the Women of the USPSA website/FB/blog/YouTube pages.
