In seven short years, Jessie Abbate has gone from a beginning shooter to top ranked professional, earning 8 National and 8 World Champion shooting titles, as well as other regional champion titles, in four different shooting disciplines.  In the summer of 2006, she joined Team Glock and became a representative to the shooting industry.  Jessie trains with her husband Billy, a former professional shooter and one of the first competitors in the nation to earn the Grand Master classification. 

Due to her rigorous competition schedule, Jessie is a part-time college student seeking a bachelor’s degree in General Business.  An avid hunter, Jessie has harvested trophy whitetails with both bow and rifle, and taken several different species of African big game.  In fact, for her honeymoon, she enjoyed a “hunting-moon” in the bush of Tanzania, going after Cape Buffalo, one of Africa’s
“Big 5” most dangerous game.  Since her husband is a pilot, she also enjoys all aspects of general aviation.

Jessie has been featured on several TV shows, including Shooting USA, Sighting in with Shooting USA, Cowboys, Shooting Gallery, and American Hunter.  Look for her on future episodes of Mossy Oak’s “Hunting the Country”.
