    TRAINING PREPARATION

    Combine strength training with endurance. The key is the ability to quickly transition from physical effort to precision work.

    Practice shooting after physical exercise. Work on breath control and weapon stabilization at elevated heart rate.

    We recommend minimum 8-12 weeks of regular training. 3 fitness sessions and 1-2 shooting sessions weekly.

    Overall endurance matters more. Many athletes win through precision, not speed.

    Sandbags, kettlebells, farmer's carry, trail running, burpees and other functional exercises.
