Avid bowhunter April Dawn Willis was my special guest, and she talked about some great health and fitness tips to perform your best out in the field!

Here are the original show notes: Here we are, November 27th...and suddenly we're in the thick of hunting season AND the holidays. Having just come off Thanksgiving Day in the United States, if you’re anything like me, you may have indulged in some overeating.

We are all very lucky to have a strong organization like iBass360 standing behind us to help support us and get the word out there for our causes to better the world.  I&#
