[QUOTE="coyotezapper, post: 1737927, member: 20438"] Carrying excess weight whether its body fat or a heavy rifle is still excess weight and the body has to compensate for this weight. When it comes to mountain hunting I have heard the same thing many times from hunters saying I will have no problems carrying my 12lb. rifle all day every day and in the end one of two things happens. Some only last a few days before they make excuses that they have to leave only to never return or they make it the full hunt but at the end they make the comment I need a lighter rifle. Now this being said there are plenty of hunts that carrying a heavy rifle is not a big deal as long as the hunter is in hunting shape. Hunting shape is not weight strength / shape. To get in hunting shape do hunting movements with a weighted pack. This short video mentions excess body weight. [MEDIA=youtube]uiiZJmjaryo[/MEDIA] [/QUOTE]
