Getting People Outside im Rhode is truly an ambassador for the shooting sports. In addition to her charity work, busy training schedule and numerous public appearances, she also co-hosts the Outdoor Channel’s “Step Outside” program with Doug Painter. Being a part of this television program is another example of Rhode’s commitment to introducing people to the outdoors. Produced in partnership with the National Shooting Sports Foundation, the focus of the show is current outdoor enthusiasts introducing friends and family to traditional outdoor sports. K Kim Rhode’s tremendous shooting success has earned her the nickname “California’s Golden Girl,” but it’s her tremendous enthusiasm for the outdoors and her commitment to the preservation of our traditional outdoor heritage that truly makes her a shining example of giving back to the shooting community. She sets the bar high in competition and as an example of a positive shooting-sports role model. As Rhode heads off to the Olympics, make it your store’s mission to publicize the efforts of the U.S. shooting team. Network coverage of shooting events has been nearly nonexistent in the past, but the shooting community can do their best to spread the word about Olympic shooting. Post a scoreboard of U.S. Olympic shooting achievements, profiles of the athletes and video recordings of any television coverage the shooting sports receive. It can generate Olympic dreams in the minds of young shooters and will boost the positive image of the shooting sports. Best of luck at the 2008 Olympics in Beijing, Kim! 9 Made in the USA! Please send your FFL for our new catalog. “Efforts should be focused on reaching people outside the established shooting community.” “We need to get people outside camping, hunting and fishing,” Rhode said. She said she hopes that through her appearances she can pass on the shooting and hunting heritage to people in cities because, traditionally, they are a big voting group and key to the preservation of outdoor spaces.
