ATHENS, Ala. – June 8, 2026 – SLG2, Inc., the outdoor industry’s leading experiential marketing company, will bring its Shoot Like A Girl experience to Bass Pro Shops in Niles, Ohio, on June 13–14 as part of its 2026 Grand Safety Tour.
Designed to be much more than a product showcase, the free event gives women, families, and outdoor enthusiasts the opportunity to learn new skills, gain confidence, and connect with industry experts in a fun, welcoming environment. From hands-on firearm and archery experiences to outdoor education and product demonstrations, guests will discover practical outdoor skills that help make time spent outdoors safer and more enjoyable.
“We’re excited to bring the Grand Safety Tour to Niles and connect with the local community,” said Karen Butler, president of SLG2, Inc. “Our goal is to create an experience where guests feel safe and are comfortable asking questions, trying something new, and building confidence. Whether someone is exploring the outdoors for the first time or has years of experience, there’s something here for everyone.”
The centerpiece of the experience is Shoot Like A Girl’s fully enclosed semi-tractor trailer mobile range. Inside the mobile range, guests aged 18 and older can participate in an instructor-led experience focused on safe firearm handling using a FATS by Inveris military-grade simulator that provides realistic feedback in a controlled environment.
Women can also participate in archery activities led by certified coaches, making the event an engaging and educational experience for the entire family. Youth and teens are encouraged to attend and take part in firearm safety discussions.
Outside the mobile range, attendees can explore the Shoot Like A Girl gun bar, featuring a variety of firearms and product demonstrations from some of the outdoor industry’s leading brands. Attendees can also explore hands-on demonstrations regarding safe storage options, pepper spray with inert spray, knife sharpening, and much more. These practical skills help support safety, foster preparedness, and encourage confidence in the field and at home. Guests will also get a hands-on opportunity to test optics, holsters, concealed carry handbags, and other outdoor accessories.
Women, men, and families of all experience levels are welcome, and no prior knowledge is required to participate. This event is free to attend, and all equipment will be provided on-site.
