Crimson Arrows: A Bowhunting Odyssey is written from the heart and soul of a bowhunter. Spanning three decades of his adventures, Eyad Yehyawi takes you through the emotions, heartbreaks and successes.

Every setback and missed opportunity is revealed, along with the rewards earned through hard work and perseverance.

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.

Eco Lips’ gentle Hand & Body Balm is truly an all-over moisturize tool – a lotion in a stick! This soothing formula features Fair Trade Certified™ Cocoa Butter, which is high in fatty acids, to nourish and provide a protective barrier over the skin.

It’s paired with organic beeswax and organic coconut oil to effectively moisturize dry, sensitive skin. It’s the perfect natural remedy for chapped, dry skin – especially for hands, elbows, knees and heels. It melts on contact and is non-greasy and fast absorbing.

Note: This is not a regular-sized .15 oz “chapstick” tube, this is a larger .56 oz tube.

The blue color in our label symbolizes the scrubs worn by front line workers.

  • NO ADDED FRAGRANCES OR FLAVORS
  • FAST ABSORBING, GOES ON CLEAR
  • GENTLE, GREAT FOR SENSITIVE SKIN

Editor’s Note: This balm is great for post-hunting and winter skin! I’m really tough on my hands, especially during hunting and ice fishing seasons, so I started keeping this on my bedside stand to put on and rub in before going to sleep. It really does soak into your skin fast, and I enjoy the smell! I think since it has beeswax in it, to me it registers as a very light, pleasant honey-like scent. ~Jen

USED BOOK: Taking Aim by Eva Shockey

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.
