We’re excited to introduce more and more women to the amazing world of hunting through this endeavor. Hunting is a natural progression of shooting sports, and this program empowers women with confidence by taking them into the field to experience nature and ultimately put food on the table for themselves and their families.”

“We introduce women to the shooting sports at our live, in-person trailer events, but with this hunting component, we’re able to take them outside into the wilderness,” said Christa Forrester, Chief of Staff of Shoot Like A Girl. “Being able to guide these women in their early hunting experiences helps plant the seed for the next generation to get into the field and take on hunting themselves.”
