About the Author
Eyad H. Yehyawi of Iowa is the author of “Crimson Arrows.” He has been bowhunting for nearly thirty years, traveling across the United States, Canada and Africa. Growing up in southeast Iowa, he gained an appreciation and respect for the outdoors at an early age.

A naturalist long before he was a bowhunter, Eyad’s passion for the outdoors dates as far back as he can remember. Whether it was fishing in farm ponds or exploring local woodlots – he always found his way into the fields and forests. Coming from a family with no outdoor experience – his trials and tribulations paved the road toward future successes with a great appreciation for the journey.

While majoring in biology at Quincy University, he worked in conservation and wildlife management before deciding to pursue interests in health care. Many of these stories and photos have appeared in magazines including Bow & Arrow Hunting, Bowhunter, Bowhunt America, and Outdoor Life.

Eyad currently lives in Iowa with his wife and children, where he practices optometry.

Follow Your Arrow… and join the adventure!

A lifelong native of Michigan, Judy Black has always loved the thrill of hunting, the beauty of nature and the joys of camp life. So when she wrapped her hands around her first bow on Christmas Day 2003, she discovered her true passion.

An exciting read for hunters, adventurers and nature lovers alike, Follow Your Arrow chronicles sixteen years of Judy’s bowhunting adventures – the triumphs and challenges, the highs and lows, and the special moments in between.

Travel with Judy around the world to hunt majestic animals and meet incredible people along the way. Join her as she sets her sights on whitetails at her own camp, wild hogs in the Texas brush, big cats in snowy British Columbia, bears in Saskatchewan bush, musk ox in the frozen Arctic, stags and goats in breathtaking New Zealand, exotic game on the African savanna and more. Walk in her boots as she climbs mountains, fords streams, crosses bogs, and pushes herself beyond her physical and emotional limits.

Much more than a hunting and traveling memoir, Follow Your Arrow is a call to get out and experience the great, wide world full of beauty around us.

“Your Hunting Healthspan – 73 Ways Hunters Can Age Better & Prevent Disease” by Linden Loren. Paperback edition.

If you ask a hunter if they’d like to continue hunting for a long time, they would probably say yes. Hunting is a meaningful and worthwhile lifestyle that has been ingrained in our DNA for thousands of years. Unfortunately, our twenty-first-century lifestyle affects the health of far too many hunters at some point in their lives, which can eventually lessen their ability to hunt.

Your Hunting Healthspan protects your ability to hunt with seventy-three ways to preserve your health at any age. Cultivated specifically for hunters, these strategic tips can help prevent the most common conditions hunters face: headaches, stomach pain, insomnia, depression, type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease and more.

Instead of falling prey to the health threats of the modern world, join the new movement that’s sweeping the hunting community. Start using these essential, practical tips right now to improve Your Hunting Healthspan. Without health, there is no more hunting.

Taking Aim
Daring to be Different, Happier, and Healthier in the Great Outdoors
By Eva Shockey
With A.J. Gregory

USED BOOK: Very Good – Clean inside pages with no appearance of use. Just minimal wear and bending on covers. Includes 8 pages of color photos as well. Photos are of the actual book you’ll receive.

An acclaimed bow hunter who defies the stereotype that hunting is a man’s game, Eva Shockey is at the forefront of a new wave of women and girls who are passionate about outdoor sports.

Eva Shockey grew up expecting to be a dancer like her glamorous mother. But something about spending family vacations RV-ing across North America and going on hunts with her dad sparked in her an enduring passion for a different way of life.

In Taking Aim, Eva tells a very personal story of choosing the less-traveled path to a rewarding life in outdoor pursuits like hunting and fishing. For her, as her millions of fans can attest, that has meant hunting as a way of harvesting food, caring deeply about conservation, sustainability and healthy eating, and getting closer to God in nature.

In this riveting memoir for the adventurer in all of us, Eva takes readers along as she hunts caribou on the rugged Aleutian Islands, tracks a 1,500-pound bull moose across the unforgiving Yukon, and meets many other challenges of a life in the wild.

Along the way we learn that hunting is about so much more than pulling a trigger. “My story is about discovering your dream,” writes Eva. “It’s about following your passion, mastering your skills, taking aim no matter who thinks you’re crazy…and then letting the arrow fly. If you’ve done all you can, I can tell you that you’re almost certain to hit your mark.”

Whether you’re a lifelong hunter or a city dweller who has never set foot in the wilderness, Eva’s story delivers an empowering message about rejecting stereotypes and expectations, believing in yourself, and finding the courage to pursue what you care about most.
