Karen Schrader – Sharing Her Empowered Confidence with Others

Karen Schrader

How and/or Why did you get started in shooting sports?

I had shot with my husband casually for several years, but never took it very seriously.  That is until our home was broken into.  In 2015, we came home to a Goldilocks situation and I realize quickly that I couldn’t rely on the sheriff to get there in time if there were a real life or death emergency.  It took him 28 minutes.  I would have been dead in less time than that.  This started my desire to learn to shoot.  Being competitive by nature, shooting sports were a natural progression.

Why are you passionate about working for SLG2:

I love the feeling of empowerment I get from the shooting sports, and from the sisterhood I feel through shooting sports.  I want to pass that along to other women so they can be empowered, too!

When not shooting, what do you love to do:

I train my Arabian horses for endurance rides and I read.  As time allows, I bake sourdough bread, make jellies and jams, and sell my goods at the local farmer’s market.  I also lead the music at my church. And I work for the Justice of the Peace in my county.
