Taking The First Step

by: Tim Dickerson

Shooting a bow, like anything else, requires the proper foundation. Certainly, practice on the standing and 3D ranges are vital elements but so is preparing physically.Why prepare yourself physically for shooting and hunting? Consider for a moment what many would classify as the hunt of a lifetime.The Wyoming sky is a clear, brilliant blue with only a few clouds hovering overhead. The wind is in your favor and that big bull elk is five hundred yards to east, bugling his head off. The only thing standing between you and the trophy of a lifetime is a climb up the other side of that ravine where you can set up, bugle him in, and take the shot. You're almost up the other side, breathing hard, when you realize the animal unexpectedly moved your way. You stop, draw your bow, but can't hold steady. The 6x6 only presented himself for a few seconds and you were too winded to make the shot. If only you would have spent some time before the hunt getting into shape. You might be in the center of a camera lens so Bob and guys could post your picture on bowhuntinginfo.com instead of trying to come around on that bull for the second time.
