Much needed rest day. Ordered a map of unit 23 north from Flatline Maps. Went to the range, shot broadheads out to 70 yards, using a single pin slider for Arizona as I plan on doing a spot and stalk program. I will leave my slider set on 50 yards and begin to shoot ranges of 20-60 with that setting to ensure no issues, but obviously I want to be able to sneak in on a big bull bedded and wait for him to stand up to feed/stretch and slap one through him at a precise distance and setting.
Building more VAPS as well.

I would say that I am a ways from being back to 100% crossfit form, but I am really pleased with the volume and recovery. I have been easing my way back into heavy loads. I will rest up this weekend, perhaps do a run or flush workout and spend some time with my bow!!!!
