ATHENS, Ala. – January 6, 2022– Shoot Like A Girl has released its fourth quarter report for 2021, wrapping up a year of successful business initiatives, event growth, and completing a year filled with travel, hosted events, and reconnection with the outdoors. Shoot Like A Girl facilitated three events and hosted nearly 500 women and their friends and families at the mobile range. The team travelled to New Mexico, Texas, and North Carolina introducing women and their families to shooting sports, allowing the Shoot Like A Girl team to empower more guests in new cities and share their passions. The full report is available online.
“The fourth quarter was one for the books,” said Karen Butler, Founder and President of Shoot Like A Girl. “We travelled through the beautiful states of New Mexico, Texas, and North Carolina and hosted a pheasant hunt in Kansas and a duck hunt in Texas. With each event creating their own special memories, we were fortunate to wrap up 2021 by delivering our message of safety and confidence that comes with shooting sports. We love seeing the miles and hours put into our work coming to fruition.”
Empowering Women in 2021
During the fourth quarter, 430 women participated in Shoot Like A Girls’ experiences and were introduced to pistol, rifle and bow skills and safety during the Home of the Brave Tour. Making stops at Cabela’s and Bass Pro Shops in Katy, Texas; Albuquerque, New Mexico; and Concord, North Carolina, the mobile range traveled more than 2,100 miles in a few short months and reached a total of 2,815 guests in 2021.
In addition to mobile range stops, two partnership hunts with Beretta were held in Kansas and Texas.
