Julie Goloski began her shooting career when she was fourteen, practicing with her father, Pete Goloski.

In 2002, Goloski left the Army to become a professional markswoman. She received a contract with Glock and started competing for them. In 2006 Julie joined Team Smith & Wesson. In 2006, Goloski won three Divisions at the USPSA Nationals (Limited-10, Single Stack, and Production), becoming the first woman to do so.[3] More recently, she won the Production and Revolver Division at the 2011 USPSA Nationals as Julie Golob. This was the first time any shooter had won all six divisions.[4]

In 2012, Golob appeared as an expert in the fourth season of History Channel's Top Shot.
