My wife has been after me to walk more. Well, an old buddy gave me one arrow today, so that's better than yesterday, when I didn't have any! So, here's the drill:
Shoot arrow
Walk to retrieve arrow
Walk Back
Shoot arrow
Repeat several dozen times.
My Wife's gonna love this new hobby of mine.

Shoot at 60 yards 15 times, and you'll have walked over a mile. Shooting a 50# bow, and you'll have lifted over 700# in "weight".
Archery is defiantely good exercise ;D!
-
haha! try javelin too ;D
-
Don't forget shotput!!!
-
Caber tossing is good exercise....but I have to be honest there is a lot to be said for grabbing a quiver full of blunts and walking up and down mountains chasing pinecones, cans, and the occasional rabbit... ;D
-
i know another good form of excersize, just cant discuss it hear cause this is a family friendly site >:D

Atl-atl?

:D :D :D

I tried golf as excercise...all I excercised was my vocabulary! Golf is just the word "flog" spelled backwards as far as I can tell.
Now I hear some folks on the west coast play a form of archery golf....hmmm, lemme see, longbow for a driver, then a shorter flatbow for chipping, and a Lakota horsebow for the putt. Oh yeah, I gotta try this!
-
I don't even have to be shooting to get good exercise from archery practice......"Daddy, can you go get the arrows?" ;D
I just can't help myself.

Blunts hurt though ;D. Even a kid's bow, caught on the elbow, smarts pretty badly. Who'd have imagined that one?

archery is great if you only want to develop your left pec and delt and your right romboid and delt ;). i likes cabers and rocks. a great way to prepare for hunting season is to jog or run through the woods, then shoot run to the next target, shoot and so on. if you can shoot with your heart pumpin its just like what happens when that big ten pointer comes in. youll already have trained yourse;f to shoot under pressure, just like buck fever. just dont stare at the rack ;D

Golf was actually derived from the archery practice of roving marks. wander around the coutryside, pick an object to shoot at and see who gets closest. either shoot the next mark from there or rove a while until something catches your eye

haha- i wonder if golf was ever used in warfare... pretty far ff topic, my bad ;D
-
Golf is a game played by men with small balls ;D but if they were grenades :D
