Eva Shockey is co-host with her father of "Jim Shockey's Hunting Adventures" on the Outdoor Channel. A sought after spokesperson on hunting and the outdoors, she is a corporate ambassador for Cabela's, Bowtech, Crosman, Daniel Defense, Muzzy Broadheads and other major brands, and has an exclusive line of Under Armour gear. She is married to professional hockey player Tim Brent, and when she's not traveling for the work she loves, she divides her time between North Carolina and Vancouver Island.
"In this sprightly, instructive autobiography, Shockey describes
her love of hunting . . . She details the hours-long hikes, the
cheek-chafing cold, the patience ('hair-pulling stretches of
monotony'), and the constant practicing required to 'harvest' that
1,500-pound bull moose. She endures antiwoman and antihunting
attitudes, defending hunting as an act of conservation,
self-reliance, and, often, charity."
--Publishers Weekly (starred review) "I have had the privilege of
knowing Eva Shockey for years as colleagues in the outdoor
industry, and am thrilled for her voice and perspective is reaching
a larger audience. Taking Aim offers fresh perspective that appeals
to both the lifelong hunter and non-hunter alike. Eva's voice gives
insider understanding to readers for which the outdoor industry is
a world yet undiscovered. Simultaneously, she speaks to the heart
of every avid outdoorsman as she recounts stories of risky
exploration and its rich rewards. Hunter or not, Taking Aim is for
you."
--Willie Robertson, Author, American Fisherman, and Hunter
"Throughout this book Eva mentions the impact her family has had on
her education and passion for the outdoors. I have three little
girls, and another child on the way, that my wife and I are raising
to appreciate, enjoy and love the outdoors as much as we do. This
book is a great reminder of the importance of introducing and
giving the gift of the outdoors to your children."
--Justin Moore, Country music singer
"Eva Shockey has changed the game for women in outdoor sports, and
Taking Aim is the fresh dose of inspiration we've all been looking

book will find themselves excitedly searching for their next great
adventure!"
--Cameron Hanes, Hunting Athlete "Eva Shockey's love of adventure
and positive attitude are absolutely contagious. In Taking Aim, Eva
shares her quest to live a balanced and healthy lifestyle in a way
that will inspire all of us to do the same. To every brave and
adventurous spirit, this one's for you."
