Life at Full Draw: The Chuck Adams Story

Rating:
Summary: It will make you a better hunter!
Review: Gutschow has written an inspirational bio that includes not only Chuck Adams extraordinary story, but asks the burning question "Is he really that good?" Many of Chucks guides, outfitters, industry associates, Fred Asbell, and even rocker Ted Nugent answer this question and provide insight into the much envied world of the Hunting professional.

After reading this you realize Chuck is the "Tiger Woods" of bowhunting he is so much better because he works at it much harder than most.

As a non-bowhunter, until reading this book, I never realized the superiority complex some "traditionalists" have over those who use a compound bow. Speaking of Tiger, I have no doubt he could beat me with wood shafted clubs and a leather golf ball. If he wanted to use them fine. THAT DOESN"T MAKE HIM (or you) A BETTER GOLFER or HUNTER! He uses the most advanced products to be the best he can be.

Other Highlights:
The hunts leading to Chucks Super Slam. The Brown Bear hunt is incredible.
The physical stamina needed to go to the rarified spots that hold trophy animals.
His detailed preparation and practice for his hunts.
Ted Nugent is hilarious, merciless, and right, in his analysis of Chucks critics.
The insight into the industry (its not all smiles and handshakes.)

This book is well written, and will make you a better hunter. For non-hunters (like me) it is an interesting read about an individual at the top of his profession that motivates you to be better at whatever is your passion.

Maybe I'll check out the bows next time at Cabela's......

Summary: not too bad
Review: Honestly, I expect more hunting tales and less personal information. I didn't read the final third of the book because it is all about personal thoughts, issues and stuff not about hunting. I know Chuck is a great hunter and that many people are jealous of that, but I wanted to be a better hunter at the end of this book and I am not sure if that happened. Maybe I should have read "Super Slam" to hear more hunting stories. If you want to know more about Chuck and his personal conflicts and beliefs, then this is a good book. If not, buy something else.

Summary: top quality and fun to read
Review: I have followed Chuck Adams through his books and articles since I was a small kid. This books got it all under one cover and even shows the bad side's of Chuck's great hunting experiences. If you read the book ignore the politics and enjoy the life of an inspirational archer.
