Shoot Like A Girl® Brings Free Firearms and Archery Experience to Bass Pro Shops ® in Oklahoma City

ATHENS, Ala. – August 14, 2020 – Shoot Like A Girl’s Coast to Coast Tour is making its way to Bass Pro Shops in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma this weekend for a free interactive event that introduces women to the shooting sports in a fun, safe and comfortable atmosphere. Both new and experienced shooters are invited to stop by the Shoot Like A Girl trailer in front of Bass Pro Shops on Saturday, August 15 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Sunday, August 16 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m to learn about safe and responsible gun ownership and the many benefits of firearms from certified female instructors who are eager to share their passion for the shooting sports.

What to Expect

This unique experience is designed to make the shooting sports more accessible to women, giving them confidence to take the next steps in firearms training after they leave the Shoot Like A Girl event. Attendees are also encouraged to bring their families and young children to discuss and hear more about firearm safety.

Inside the range, attendees who are 16 years of age or older will be able to handle and shoot handguns and long guns with guidance from instructors, using a state-of-the-art, military-grade firearm simulator which provides immediate recoil, impact and sound feedback. Archery coaches will also be onsite to assist guests with shooting bows.

Outside the range, at the Shoot Like A Girl gun counter, visitors of all ages are welcome to compare a variety of disabled firearms, including revolvers, semi-automatic pistols, shotguns and rifles. Additional products from corporate partners will be on display, including optics, conceal carry bags, holsters, TrueTimber camouflage gear, SABRE pepper spray products and much more. A full list of partners is available online.

No experience is necessary to participate in this free event, and all equipment is provided to guests upon arrival. Those unable to attend in Oklahoma City are encouraged to come out to any Shoot Like A Girl trailer event in cities all across the country. The Coast to Coast Tour dates are available online, and more are added regularly.
