November 2009 Issue!

Most shotgunners interpret the role physical fitness plays in good shooting as merely avoiding fatigue, whether your weekend is wrapped around performing to your best over a multiple-day clays tournament or trudging for miles in search of game birds. But as Bill Barbee shares in this issue’s “Navy Seal Training For Sporting,” extreme exercise can condition the mind as well as the body to better fire on all cylinders. It’s a lesson participants in other sports have learned from these honored Special Forces heroes, and us mere mortal shotgunners ought to pay attention, too.
