Spending time and money at a gym would be bad for my joints, and my wallet. Spending time at the range, learning how to shoot my X7, pays off in meat. Packing the 'light' X7 allows me to enjoy all the aspects of hunting i.e. the being there, the smells, the sights, the sneak, the 'walk', the weather etc.
