GPP for Bowhunting Success
Fitness and bowhunting make the perfect marriage. More fitness means hunting harder and going further. To hunt at your best, you must own more stock in “General Physical Preparedness” (GPP). Shares of GPP come with a steep price tag, but will lend itself to better bowhunting…I guarantee it.

Hunt Like an Athlete
Hunt like an athlete sounds a hell of a lot better than hunt like a couch potato. An athlete is fit for the mountains and conditioned to excel at the sport of hunting. The essence of hunting is becoming a formidable predator. A predator enters the woods prepared for any and all eventuality and gladly welcomes adversity. In order to hunt like an athlete, you have to train like an athlete. Stop. I didn’t say you had to run ultra-marathons, shoot everyday, nor did I say you had to be an extremist. But there is definitely a rising tide of...
