Julianna Crowder

Julianna Crowder is a dreamer, teacher, and leader. She empowers women to take personal responsibility for their safety by learning the proper handling and use of firearms. She invites women to participate at the shooting range. She creates opportunities for women to grow their own businesses and make their dreams come true. Although she was raised around firearms and married a Marine, it wasn’t until 2004 that Julianna developed an interest in competitive action shooting, hunting, and self defense and earned instructor credentials. Fast forward to Feb. 28, 2011 and several thousand students later, she held her first Girl’s Night Out, a casual, unintimidating event on safe shooting followed by “girl talk” at a restaurant afterwards. Only a few girls showed up, but each week a few more would come. Using this simple format, she has helped bring thousands of women into the shooting community. Julianna is a passionate speaker on women’s issues as gun owners, concealed carry and 2nd Amendment issues, action shooting sports, and firearm education and resources. She has been featured on The Blaze, Huckabee, CNBC, NBC, NPR, and many local affiliates. She is regularly invited to speak on Cam and Co. on NRA News, and was Ms. September in the 2012 Bond Arms “Fight Like A Girl” charity calendar. As Founder, Julianna continues to share the mission of A Girl & A Gun. She manages strategic partnerships with industry leaders, and hosts regional and national events. She is a Certified NRA Instructor, Rangemaster Level 1, Certified License t Carry Instructor for the State of Texas, and served on the national NRA Education Committee.

It was there that I feel in love with this outdoor industry. My craft was honed in these years by being surrounded by experts in many different areas of the outdoor world. I learned how to communicate in design and photography to the mindset of an outdoor enthusiast as well as an outdoor novice. From there I continued in the outdoor industry as and Art Director for Park Tool which makes the tools for the bicycle world in White Bear Minnesota. The whole time I have had full-time careers in the outdoor world I continued to freelance for many different companies in the industry. Everything from design books, shooting photos, creating Brands, building packaging. One of the books I designed and shot the photos for was written by Michael Martin. We built Minnesota Permit to Carry a Firearm book and then Gander Mountain adopted the book as part of their firearms instruction as well as the USCCA. Which is now called Concealed Carry and Home Defense Fundamentals. This project is what had lead me working for the USCCA as the Creative Director and Lead photographer for Concealed Carry Magazine as my current job.

They do their own butchering and provide meat to the elderly, single moms, etc. She's also a welder, mechanic, and off-road racer.

Though I have a lot of experience hunting and fishing I have only recently started writing about my experiences, sharing knowledge and doing my utmost to promote hunting in a positive way. Currently I am admin of four Facebook pages. USA Wolf Hunting, Keep Wolves out of Colorado, Four Seconds Until Impact and Animal Attacks. Combined followers of around 8,000 with daily posts and interactions. I was invited to be an admin on USA Wolf Hunting in 2015 after Bruce Hemming had read some of the long conversations I had with wolf supporters and people that are against hunting. He liked how I had a good civil dialog with them and was impressed with some of the research I had done on wolves that promoted facts over hearsay. He wanted that on USA Wolf Hunting which at that time was called Kill the Wolves of Idaho and had 20,000 followers until Facebook shut it down. In 2017 Bruce started talking about writing a new book and he wanted less of a "in your face" style in his new book so he asked me if I would help research and write it. After over a years worth of research, writing, editing and re-editing we had our book. Four Seconds Until Impact published. Currently we have sold over five hundred books since it came out over six months ago.

His roles include producing stories, photos and content for Delta’s magazine, website and social media platforms, and assisting with marketing and public relations. “I have three passions in life: outdoor writing, duck hunting, and waterfowl conservation,” Wintersteen said. “My role at Delta allows me to indulge all three interests, while giving back to waterfowl and the tradition of waterfowl hunting. I take the responsibility of providing Delta members with an informative, entertaining magazine very seriously.” A central Pennsylvania native, Wintersteen grew up along the north branch of the Susquehanna. At age 13, he shot a black duck on the river, thus fueling a life-long fascination with all-things waterfowl. “Black ducks have been my favorite species ever since,” he said. “Nothing makes me feel like I’ve done something right than decoying a flock of those wary, chocolate-colored birds.” Wintersteen earned a degree in communications at Penn State University, where he was a member of the varsity track and field team. When he isn’t hunting ducks, he competes in English springer spaniel field trials. He has owned two field champions, including a National Open High Point Champion. He lives in Bellefonte, Pennsylvania, with his wife, two sons and two springers.
