While bowhunting has long been a male-dominated sport, women are staking their ground on the archery range, becoming a fast-growing demographic. It extends beyond sport, however; women of all ages can gain focus, have fun, and even stock their freezers with the valuable skills they learn. At Independence, KY’s M & M Archery Range and Pro Shop, amateurs and professionals alike can practice at the indoor archery range, shop for a new bow and arrow and receive quality repair services. The archery pro shop is the area’s go-to destination for all of your sporting needs, no matter what your skill level.

Bowhunting Amongst Women

According to the Archery Trade Association, 4 million women are involved in in the sport. Whether they do so for fun or hunting, this number is only getting bigger. Why the sudden shift?

Women are gaining a newfound understanding for the love of bow and arrow, especially when they can buy all necessary supplies at their local archery pro shop M&M Archery Range. When it comes to hunting, popular media has changed the perception of women who do so, encouraging more to get onto the archery range and try it themselves. With TV role models providing someone to relate to, women of all ages aren’t afraid to express their interest. All it takes is the right gear and some basic know-how, and you could be shooting arrows yourself this season. Find out how at this exciting event.
