Shoot Like A Girl has released its third quarter report for 2021, citing impressive numbers, growth and insights that drive initiatives into the final quarter of the year. With its aggressive travel schedule, Shoot Like A Girl facilitated five events and hosted nearly 1,000 women plus their friends and families at the mobile range. The team traveled to Utah, Missouri and Colorado introducing women and their families to shooting sports, allowing the Shoot Like A Girl team to empower more guests in more cities. The full report is available online.
“The third quarter was full of aggressive travel. We reconnected with our roots and shared our experiences,” said Karen Butler, Founder and President of Shoot Like A Girl. “It’s a special experience to share our organization’s mission and passion with new shooters and we continue to strive to make an impact on others’ lives as we grow into the final few months of the year. Being able to deliver our message of safety and to encourage confidence that comes with shooting sports is a driving force behind all the hours and miles that are put into our work.”
