I'll say physical fitness, hands down. All the gun skills in the world don't help if you're gasping for air after walking 200 yards. Hunting steep terrain, training courses that require movement, even just carrying gear...cardio and strength make everything else possible. I spent years focusing only on shooting and ignored the body that has to do the shooting.
 
I am 71 and still run 3 miles 3-4x a week and do crossfit/weights. The key...just don't stop, ever. Injure something and can't do what you usually do? Do something else until you recover. Don't stop moving.
