Hunting season will be here before we know it, and now is the perfect time to start getting in shape. Strong core muscles make a huge difference in your balance, stability, and shooting form. That’s why we’re inviting everyone to join the 30-Day Plank Challenge—a fun, simple way to improve fitness before fall arrives. If you want to get fully prepared with top-quality gear as well, check out the full lineup at Pine Ridge Archery.

Why Planking Helps Bowhunters

Planks are one of the most effective exercises for building core strength, and the core is the foundation of steady shooting. A strong core helps you:

  • Hold your bow steadier

  • Reduce shake while aiming

  • Maintain better posture

  • Improve your follow-through

  • Handle long hours in the field

Because planks require no equipment and take only a few minutes, they’re perfect for hunters with busy schedules. And if you want to pair your training with new stabilizers, wrist slings, or peeps, you can see all options at Pine Ridge Archery.

Join the 30-Day Plank Challenge (#pineridgeplank)

The challenge is simple:
Follow the daily plank chart, take photos of your progress, and share them on the Pine Ridge Archery Facebook page using #pineridgeplank. Throughout the challenge, we’ll pick lucky participants to receive Pine Ridge Archery swag—even more motivation to stay consistent!

If you're looking for a fun community to stay active with, the #pineridgeplank group is a great place to start. And while you're there, explore gear upgrades like NITRO Vanes and stabilizers at Pine Ridge Archery.

No Gym Needed—Just a Few Minutes a Day

You don’t need a gym membership, weights, or expensive equipment to participate. All you need is a small open space, a little motivation, and a few minutes each day. Planking fits easily into any schedule—whether you're at home, at work, or even traveling.

A quick daily plank routine pairs perfectly with preseason equipment prep. If you're tuning your bow or making upgrades, consider adding accessories like a Pine Ridge Archery string loop, Nitro Peep, or Nitro Stabilizer, all available at Pine Ridge Archery.

Build Strength Before You Hit the Woods

Getting into better shape now will make hunting season more enjoyable. Stronger muscles help you draw smoother, shoot more consistently, and stay comfortable during long sits or stalks. The 30-Day Plank Challenge is an easy first step toward better fitness—and better performance in the woods.

Combine your fitness routine with reliable, American-made accessories from Pine Ridge Archery, and you’ll be more ready than ever when opening day arrives.

Ready… Set… GO!

Join us today by posting your first plank photo. Stay committed, share your progress, and get in shape alongside fellow bowhunters. We can’t wait to see your #pineridgeplank posts!
