Summary:
An acclaimed bow hunter who defies the stereotype that hunting is a man’s video game, Eva Shockey is at the forefront of a new influx of women and girls who are passionate about outdoor sports.
Eva Shockey was raised expecting to be considered a dancer like her attractive mom. But something about spending family holidays RV-ing across THE UNITED STATES and taking place hunts with her father sparked in her an enduring passion for a different way of life.
In Taking Aim, Eva tells an extremely personal tale about Taking Aim: Daring to VARY, Happier, and Healthier in the wild of choosing the less-traveled path to a fulfilling life in outdoor pursuits like hunting and fishing. On her behalf, as her millions of supporters can attest, which has meant hunting as a means of harvesting meals, nurturing deeply about conservation, sustainability and healthful eating, and getting closer to God in nature.
Within this riveting memoir for the adventurer in all folks, Eva takes readers along as she hunts caribou on the durable Aleutian Islands, tracks a 1,500-pound bull moose over the unforgiving Yukon, and matches many other challenges of a life in the wild.
Along the way we learn that hunting is about a lot more than pulling a activate. ‘My story is about discovering your desire,’ writes Eva. ‘It’s about following your passion, understanding your skills, taking aim no matter who believes you’re crazy…and then letting the arrow travel. If you’ve completed all you can, I could tell you that you’re almost certain going to your tag.’
Whether you’re a lifelong hunter or a city dweller who hasn’t set foot in the wilderness, Eva’s story delivers an empowering message about rejecting stereotypes and goals, believing in yourself, and finding the courage to pursue what you value most.
