The Train to Hunt event is a bowhunting based physically challenging event designed to simulate the challenges sportsmen encounter during bow season. This event will test your mettle and give you a gauge on where you stand physically before bow season is here. It will also tell you where you stand against your hunting buddies. Your endurance will be tested by packing heavy loads, shooting your bow in challenging situations with and without a loaded pack.
Here are the three challenges; for more details on these challenges click here
