Shooting builds strength
MICK KIRBY
During a competition day you’ll be shouldering your gun, which probably weighs 7-8lbs (3.2-3.6kg), between 100 and 200 times. That’s a lot of repetitions! Regular practice lifting that lump of wood and steel is going to make you strong. And being strong is great for our health because muscles do more than help us show off in the gym or open jars of marmalade.
