Slightly odd exercise --
Discussion of recreational firearms shooting, and questions about possibly useful exercises, below. Guns are not to everyone's taste, and hence behind the cut.
I shoot trap -- shotguns, shooting at clay discs called pigeons -- on a league team. I also shoot pistols for fun. Both kinds of shooting are hard on my back and my forearms.
Soooooo, collective wisdom, what can I do to improve my strength and stability in those areas?
I suspect the answer to the back question is core strength, core strength core strength -- planks, sit-ups, Turkish get-ups, etc, but what are some other options? And are there any FUN forearm exercises?
I am debating simply practicing mounting my shotgun -- picking it up and holding it to my shoulder the the correct position -- over and over again using an eight-pound sledgehammer instead. That might do the trick ...
