Shoot Like A Girl (SLG2), the powerhouse women’s firearms training program, is rolling into Bass Pro Shops in Gainesville, Florida, for the 2026 Grand Safety Tour on February 28-March 1. This isn’t your average range day—SLG2 brings certified female instructors, hands-on FATS simulators for realistic (and recoil-free) shooting practice, and archery setups to draw in women, families, and outdoor lovers who might otherwise shy away from the bang. Picture this: a welcoming gateway event at one of America’s premier outdoor retail meccas, where newbies can dip their toes into shooting sports without the intimidation factor, all under the expert guidance of women who’ve shattered stereotypes in the firearms world.

What makes this stop a big win for the 2A community? SLG2 isn’t just handing out participation trophies; it’s strategically building the next generation of gun owners at a time when anti-gun narratives dominate headlines. By partnering with Bass Pro Shops—a bastion of pro-hunting, pro-shooting culture—they’re tapping into a ready-made audience of families already stocked with fishing rods and camping gear. Events like this counter the guns are scary myth with empowering, safety-first experiences led by women, directly challenging the left’s tired trope that firearms are a patriarchy problem. We’ve seen SLG2’s model explode participation rates among women, who now make up nearly 30% of new gun buyers per NSSF data, fueling sustained 2A growth amid rising female self-defense awareness post-2020 crime spikes.

Mark your calendars, Florida patriots—this Gainesville tour could spark a ripple effect, turning casual Bass Pro browsers into lifelong allies at the range and the ballot box. If you’re in the area, rally your crew; these slots fill fast, and every new shooter is a brick in the wall against confiscation schemes. SLG2 proves that when women lead the charge, the Second Amendment doesn’t just endure—it thrives. Who’s ready to shoot like a girl?
