ABOUT USWhy we started Shoot Like A Girl Announcements (Contents) |
AnnouncementsTo all of our Shoot Like A Girl Family - What a wonderful year it was for us in 2009, as we strove to achieve our mission statement to empower women to participate in shooting sports with confidence! Thanks to your support, we have quickly moved from a “good idea” to a viable influence in the Archery Industry. Last year we put just under 400 women through our Test Flights. Our Test Flights are designed to give women the opportunity to shoot bows from the top manufacturers that are in a draw length and weight that fit the average gal. This is a once in a life time opportunity, and thankfully ladies took advantage of it. We have had the pleasure of helping women choose the bow that is right for them. We have had confirmed bow sales, and we also increased the number of ladies who hunt. Also exciting, is the fact that of those women who took advantage of our test flights, about 35% of them were brand new, never shot a bow before archers! Most every one of them had the same reaction after getting set up to properly and safely take the shot….they shoot….they grin (ear to ear)…and say…”Can I do it AGAIN!”. As those of us who already shoot know, once you shoot, you’re hooked! It was such a thrill and honor to empower so many women with choice in equipment. In 2010, our lineup is even bigger, and includes bows from Anderson Bow Company, Athens Archery, BowTech, Darton, Diamond, Elite, Hoyt, Limbsaver, Martin, Mathews, New Breed Archery, Pearson, and PSE! Shoot Like A Girl attended nine events last year, in 2010, with the help of our corporate sponsors we will attend many more events! We are very selective in who we partner with as corporate sponsors, and pleased that we are now partnered with Hunter Safety System, SHE Outdoor Apparel, Limbsaver, Elite Archery, Game Plan Gear, Easton, and ASA. Corporations who wish to join us in our effort to empower more women to participate in shooting sports should contact me with our contact form. Shoot Like A Girl helped many women find hunting clothing that fit! Our online store features manufacturers who recognize the unique needs of women’s hunting clothing. This year in addition to the brands we carry, Browning, Manzella, Medalist, Prois, Rocky, SHE Outdoor Apparel, and Sporthill, we will be adding two new clothing lines Haley Vine and Rivers West. All of these clothing manufacturers have products that enhance our performance in the field! We are always on the lookout for the next greatest piece of gear to add to our selections. Shoot Like A Girl also gave back this year. We donated money to Breast Cancer Research through the sales of the Pink Victory Arrows; we gave several hats and t-shirts to non-profit organizations as door prizes and give-a-ways, and supported our Troops with a Test Flight at Redstone Arsenal, Alabama. In 2010 we are focusing our efforts on a charity shoot, 3D for CP (Cerebral Palsy); and towards breast cancer research in honor of a dear friend who is currently fighting that battle, but winning! Shoot Like A Girl had the opportunity to present a seminar at the Archery Trade Associations Trade Show called, Target Women and Expand Your Business. This was our way of showing our commitment to helping the industry understand this fastest growing segment of archers…women! We had a hunt filmed by the Pursuit Channel; where we were able to get our message out, “ladies who choose to hunt, can hunt”! We also were the runner up for the Start-up Business of the Year for North Alabama - our hope is to win in 2010! For all of you who have supported us this past year, a huge THANKS; we look forward to seeing you in 2010! Sincerely, Karen Butler President, SLG2, Inc Shoot Like A Girl is teaming with manufacturers to sponsor our Test Flights for 2010. In 2009, we conducted nine test flights across the United States and introduced close to 400 women to bows from the top manufacturers (compound bows from BowTech, Diamond, Hoyt, Mathews, Alpine Archery, Limbsaver, Martin, and Athens Archery and recurve bows from Lancaster Archery Supply). Of these 400 shooters, 35% were brand new shooters! To continue this success, we will partner with manufacturers, and with their assistance will travel to more events and offer even more women the opportunity to shoot bows and test equipment from top manufacturers in the archery and outdoor industry! As part of Shoot Like A Girl’s commitment to our customers and clients, we will not accept sponsorships, or endorse any product that we do not believe in or would not use ourselves.
