Rolla, MO — Oct. 18, 2012 — (Women’s Outdoor News) – We are celebrating the launch on Thurs., Oct. 18, of another means of sharing news, reviews and stories about women hunting, shooting, fishing, kayaking, hiking and cooking in the outdoors on YouTube. Our debut video on YouTube features pro shooter Julie Golob’s first shot ever with a .50 cal. Barbara Baird, publisher of Women’s Outdoor news, captured the moment when Team Smith & Wesson’s Captain Golob pulled the trigger and felt the recoil of a Serbu .50 cal while participating in the first annual Girls Gun Getaway in rural Missouri last June. Look for future videos from Baird and from Associate Editor Britney Starr, as well as gear reviews from The WON’s writers.
To sweeten the launch of our video connection, Athena Means of Gun Goddess created a .50-cal.-theme giveaway package.
This little lovely retails for $55 and you may choose among several Swarovski crystal colors — even your birth month!
1. 50 cal rosette necklace with a crystal color of your choice
What? Imagine pulling out this crazy .50 cal bottle opener at the next tailgate party? Just $12.99
2. .50-cal bottle opener
Ooo la la. You don’t have to look very hard to get the point of this decal, do you? Just $10.95. Imagine this on your back window of your truck, or hey, on your guitar or gun case!
3. Gun Goddess decal
What will you spend your $25 on … so many choices!
