RE: Exercises for bowhunting
As a police officer I work out regularly but when the spring comes I crank the draw weight off my bow and just shoot a ton of arrows at a big target without attempting to work marksmanship. As time goes by I start to crank the weight up and continue to do the same until I get back to my original weight then work marksmanship. If you have a climber as I do I put it on and walk about the property or I put on my backpack with a small load in it to simulate the weight you will be carrying around. This works your legs, and gives your heart a workout as well!
And gzg38b... you have me laughing my butt off over your comment!
