[QUOTE="Small Lady, post: 2926495, member: 126670"] Or woman! I believe that physical activity and conditioning play a large part in it to. The person who is grunting and groaning just getting into the prone shooting position is already at a huge disadvantage over a healthy person who finds it easy, and has no problem doing a 20 km run or 50 km hike per day. Its a lot like a horse, some are in great shape, some mediocre, and some nearly die doing an easy trail ride. I have no problem at all doing over 100 kms per day on my horse, 10 days in a row, or over 150 per day on a 3 day ride. That would literally kill many horses. Thanksgiving day I did a very faced paced 108 km ride on Sam, my horse, he wasn't even tired. This ride had a lot of elevation changes, tons of downed trees, river crossings, mud, and more, and i pushed him to keep his speed up. There is no way I would do that on 99% of the horses I see out there while driving around, it would kill them. My boy more had an enjoyable little ride, no big deal. Many mornings i walk him a half km to get him moving, then a little trot for half km to warm him up, then a half km at a decent gallop, then run him flat out for a few kms. When I get to whatever place I needed to be at I climb off his back and let him wander around freely. In 10 minutes time you would never know that he wasn't teleported there, because he is so conditioned that he recovers quickly. Shooters should also try getting in better shape. If on a horse hunt, why not get off daily and jog say just 10 kms and let your horse follow you, so that you to get some exercise. For those who can't do it, understandable. But some could, and won't...even if they have to start off with just a 5 km run to build up to 10, 20, 30 km runs. But getting in shape is so important. [/QUOTE]
