RE: Exercises for the Archery Season
I'll second the cardio. No doubt lifting is helpful but cardio time is as important if no more than weight training when especially when getting ready for an elk hunt.
On a side note I have been practicing setting real still in my stand. I do this with several hours of remaining motionless on the couch. My wife says I am really getting the hang of it. Not doing much for my physique though.
