For a variety of reasons, in the late 1990s hunter participation rates in the U.S. had dropped to the lowest point in history. Then women suddenly got involved and now make up roughly 20 percent of all hunters and represent the fastest growing segment of the bowhunting community with over 30 percent off all new bowhunters being women. With these numbers, it is by no means hyperbole to say that it has been women's involvement in hunting that has saved the sport. Following are videos of women explaining what drew them to hunting and some of the most skilled and successful archery hunters in the world, who just happen to be women. Note there are graphic hunting scenes in some of the videos, so viewer discretion is advised.
