Bow Hunting Training 101
BHT 101 is about building strength and stamina, particularly in your bow arm and shoulder. We accomplish this through a collection of simple moves that progress in weight, reps and time until you’re able to hold and move a much heavier bar than any bow you’ll come across. The goal by the end of 101 is to feel strong holding and moving a bow in your hands.
