Hunting, Tactical
Coach
Adam Wood

New Horizon Athletics Hunt, is designed to be beginner friendly.
Being the son of an avid hunter and manual laboring father. I have seen my father work hard and hunt hard to support his family and pursuit in the woods.

Over time I have seen my father’s health, strength, endurance, and mobility decline due to hard work and older age.
I have designed this program for men like him who are hard workers and even harder hunters. The goal of this program is to help keep you healthy, strong, and give you the endurance and freedom you need to continue to pursue and do the things you love.
New Horizon Athletics’s Hunt and Tactical Program will start in a 6 Week base program that will help you build a strong foundation to handle the rigors of more difficult training and have you feeling your best when the big hunt matters the most.
For those looking to get back to being able to hunt and navigate the woods without knee and back pain.

You will need minimal equipment that can be purchases at you local retail or sporting store.

Friday
Week 1 Day 6

Shooting Practice

A

Low Level Fatigue Shoot 10-20 Rounds *This is were we start to apply our breath work, use this time to focus on controlling the breath and slowing the heart rate to steady the shot and squeeze the trigger or release. High Level Distressed Shooting Shoot 10-20 Rounds *The goal here is to simulate shooting while under fatigue with the respiratory and heart rate elevated. This is were you really start to work on controlling the breath and steadying the shot. Perform :30-1:00 of simple movements (Example: Jumping Jacks, Mountain Climbers, Running in Place, Step Ups) The movement doesn't matter here, its about stressing the body and controlling the stress to execute an accurate shot. As you start to master this skill try adding in variety to the shot or positions. Below are some examples of Types of shots to take during low level and high level distress. -Standing -Kneeling -Standing Supported -Kneeling Supported -Lying -Kneeling Crossbody -Standing Crossbody -Seated Crossbody -Long Aim/Long Hold Shot -Quick Aim Shot -Vertical moving *Note: I you do not want to waste ammo work through this routine without taking shots. Always make sure weapon is unload if doing this. You may also choose to work through this every other week with live ammo and taking actual shots. Shooting is a skill, the only way to develop skill is to practice that skill.
