Karen Butler, owner and President of Shoot Like a Girl, shared a quick rundown on the great things Shoot Like A Girl (SLG) does for the shooting sports at SHOT Show 2020.

What is Shoot Like a Girl?
“Shoot Like A Girl is an organization dedicated to growing the number of women who participate in shooting sports by empowering them with confidence. Women are introduced to shooting sports through a unique interactive experience, and afforded the opportunity to shoot a pistol, rifle, and bow for free in an encouraging, comfortable, and safe environment.” Funded by corporate partners and/or advertisers, SLG travels the country to fulfill this mission.

Success Rates
During 2019, SLG traveled more than 21,000 miles and made 26 stops. Of the 2,880 women who participated in the program, the vast majority (73%) increased their participation in shooting/outdoor activities.
Here are some stats from SLG attendees:
75% committed to buying a gun

43% committed to buying a bow

50% planned to take a firearms safety class

49% have recruited others to start shooting

40% have an improved attitude about firearms

31% want to start hunting

30% plan to take a hunter safety class

Karen said that while some attendees did not experience an improved attitude or view of firearms, none of them has a worse attitude about firearms afterward. Simply put, this means Shoot Like a Girl is doing all good and no harm for the shooting sports. An excellent track record, in my opinion.
