ATHENS, Ala. – August 9, 2023 – Shoot Like A Girl®, a brand of SLG2, Inc, is bringing their 2023 15-Year Expansion tour to Bass Pro Shops® in Hampton, VA this weekend for an interactive event that introduces women and their families to shooting sports in a fun, safe and comfortable atmosphere. New and experienced shooters and their families are invited to stop by the Shoot Like A Girl trailer in front of Bass Pro Shops on Saturday, August 12 from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Sunday, August 13 from 10 a.m. to 3p.m.
Shoot Like A Girl introduces a variety of women, men and their families to safety and shooting sports each tour stop, creating unforgettable, lifesaving impacts.
“With 119 guests and their families in attendance at our last trailer stop, we heard one story about an older couple coming to the trailer, the husband eager for his wife to participate,” said Christa Forrester, SLG2, Inc Vice President. “The wife, however, was not so eager. Like many of our guests, she was afraid at first. The team talked to her without pushing her and reinforced that they would be by her side the entire way. When she was finished inside the trailer, she headed to the gun bar, full of questions and wanting to know more.”
What to Expect
Both new and experienced shooters are encouraged to stop by the Shoot Like A Girl mobile range event to learn more about ways to get involved in shooting sports. Inside the mobile range, using a military-grade firearm simulator which provides immediate recoil, impact and sound feedback, guests who are 18 years of age or older will gain confidence through handling and shooting a handgun and long gun at this immersive event. Guests will also be supported by archery coaches through a live archery demonstration, allowing attendees to experience archery firsthand and learn more about the sport through hands-on instruction.
Shoot Like A Girl strives to empower women through shooting sports demonstrations and events while opening a discussion surrounding sports and outdoors. Attendees are encouraged to bring their families and children to discuss and learn more about firearm safety in a comfortable and controlled environment. No experience is necessary to participate in this free event, and all equipment is provided to guests upon their arrival.
