"My first turkey hunt came with plenty of learning and a lot of laughs," said Christa Forrester, vice president of Shoot Like A Girl. "Beyond the success of the hunt, sharing that experience with Karen made it truly memorable. That encouragement makes all the difference in fostering confidence and carrying hunting traditions forward."
Driven by its mission to introduce and empower women in shooting sports and hunting, Shoot Like A Girl places mentorship at the center of its efforts. The video offers an authentic, entertaining account of what preparation, safety and communication look like in the field — proving that you do not need to be an expert to be a mentor, just a willingness to share you passion safely and supportively.
"There are so many perceived barriers to becoming a mentor — people think that they need to be an expert hunter or that it takes tons of time," said Karen Butler, president of Shoot Like A Girl. "This video shows that you don't have to be an expert. You just need a passion for sharing the outdoors and a willingness to follow a few simple steps: keep your hunter safe, share some knowledge and create a fabulous experience. That's what mentorship is really about."
