Just confirmed a backpacking scouting trip at the end of the month with my wife. We're headed to a Washington Wilderness that I've been to once before and am thinking about heading back to. Shot 20 arrows, all with field points in my backyard. Tuesday 6/10/2015 Clean Deadlift + Hang Squat Clean + Jerk - worked up to #245, technique better today Clean Deadlift from floor x2 + Clean Pull (below the knee) x2 4 sets #265 Max Effort Walking Overhead Lunges #85, #105, #125, #155 Conditioning 20 Minute Amrap - 500m Sled pull + Strict Pull-ups + Strict HSPU - 3rds Shot 10 arrows in my backyard, prepared for a scouting/hiking day trip for Wednesday as my active rest. Wednesday 6/11/2015 Hiked in a few miles and checked a couple of cameras, put out a new one, and found a new wallow that I didn't know about. Quite a bit of bear sign, strong deer sign, and a few elk tracks. I pulled the cards, had 20,000+ images from the last seven months. Didn't shoot my bow, but tomorrow I'm heading to the range and will do the 3D course. Thursday 6/11/2015 Today was the worst I've hurt in a training session all year long. It was hot, like in the 90's and we were training in dark places. I was totally tested mentally, which is why I choose to do CrossFit, it allows my mental capacity to grow which undoubtedly puts me in a great position for the backcountry elk bow hunting scenario(s). 1. Full Snatch off Blocks at the knee (sn. grip deadlift + sn grip high pull + full snatch) technique day and wrist is felling better #155 2. 1. Clean and Jerk EMOMx15 3 rounds of: Min 1: 70% #200 Min 2: 75% #215 Min 3: 80% #230 Min 4: 85% #245 Min 5: 90% #255 3. Barbell Conditioning Teams of 3: A.

AMRAP 7 of Dead Lift: 50 reps at 185/135 50 reps at 225/155 AMRAP at 275/185 - 74 deadlifts and then I died! Went to the local range tonight with friends and shot the course. 16 targets, no rangefinders and we all got to rotate on calling where the shot took place from. I was decent at guessing range but I wasn't happy with some of shots. The mechanics are there, I am very comfortable with my bow rig, but still need to tweak a few things. Friday 6/12/2015 Fun little workout today: 1. Pull A. Work up to a heavy 2 rep Power Snatch #155 B. 4×8 Romanian Deadlift #195 2. 100 Rep Benchmark 100 1-arm DB Snatch, 70/50 alternate arms every rep - 7:45 3.

I am going to dedicate next week to just shooting this set-up and see if I don't print out a new sight tape and crush the 3D course. I've only ever killed animals with shuttle t-locks, so to consider anything else is a big deal to me.
