ATHENS, Ala. – August 4, 2021 – Shoot Like A Girl has released its second quarter report for 2021, citing impressive numbers, growth and insights that will help drive the remainder of the calendar year.

“The second quarter of 2021 came and went so very fast; especially compared to the same quarter in 2020, when time came to a standstill,” said Karen Butler, Founder and President of Shoot Like A Girl. “I look back now and am proud that Shoot Like A Girl was able to be on the front lines of grass roots initiatives; safely travelling to deliver the message of safety and share the confidence that comes with the shooting sports. We completed five more shows in second quarter.”
Reaching More Women in 2021

With stops at Bass Pro Shops and Cabela’s stores in Waco, TX; Wichita, KS; Council Bluffs, IA; Hammond, IN; and Lawrenceville, GA, the Shoot Like A Girl trailer covered a lot of ground in just a few months.
In addition to normal operations, Hunt Like a Girl was created to break down barriers so that women who wish to hunt, but don’t, find a way to feel encouraged and empowered to go afield. During three hosted hunts, women gained experience and confidence on their hunting adventures.
