2021 Rokslide Cold Bow Challenge Question/Comment Thread

[jte5013]

Wide range of equipment showing up. Nice to see that a lot of guys don’t think they have to drop $1500 on a bow to shoot.

I forgot to include the more interesting part of my setup yesterday. My IW broadheads are probably worth about the same as the bow being used.

Day 2!-Couple inches high out of the vitals

I keep shooting first thing in the morning and getting great weather conditions along the way. 3 days in the book and three arrows in the kill zone. It feels like the last 5 years of work with the recurve is finally paying off.

P.S. @robby denning I still wouldn't go five days on a hunt without shooting some practice arrows.

Anybody got their second shot up yet? I’m sitting here looking at my target. Can’t decide if I’m nervous, excited, or full of dread. Ha ha Ha ha ha

Second shot will be today! I stayed up late Saturday (with adult beverages) and was struggling all day Sunday. Looking back, it was probably perfect day to simulate day two on the mountain....

Nice shooting man.
I try to shoot on hunts too but on some of the back country hunts it’s very tough.

I absolutely agree. It's much easier to do with a traditional bow because the arrow speeds are lower. You can shoot a rotten stump, or a tussock of grass with a judo point when your arrow is only going 180 FPS.

Day three and back in the vitals with the recurve! Also finished up my new target house, with lumber prices so high I decided to repurposed and modify my son’s old sandbox, pretty happy with it.

Was going to shoot first thing this morning but we have snow coming in this evening. I think I'll hold off and shoot when it gets nasty out. It's not like I can shoot any worse, ha!

Shot 3 up! Gl to everyone else getting it done today.

Go shoot. I'm 0/3 so you can't do worse than that!

Im really hoping tomorrow goes better (zoom in on the tree). New bow and just replaced the factory strings last week and was dialed out to 50 yards this weekend. Hit 1" tape consistently to confirm yardage. Then I took my first shot today with a MER of 40.

Excited to be a part of the CBC for the first time. Best of luck to all and may your arrows hit behind your pins!

you wanna bet?

Keep at it man.

We came up with a motto for the challenge:

“The CBC: publicly embarrassing archers since 2017”

Amazing how one arrow can make your day that much better or worse !!! 🌧

 

[Randle]

Yep When I miss on a block target I think
"OH low hit I must have dropped my bow arm , lack of follow thru"
when I miss on a 3D deer "Oh I just wounded that deer, it's going to be a long track job" gut punch......

0/3 Club present.

Started feeling the nerves today. Day one was so windy I was busy focusing on that. Day two felt textbook. Slipped today’s into the zone but it definitely didn’t feel like it should have.

I’ve had 3 almost perfect days to shoot. Played with a couple new loads for the 300 Weatherby over the weekend because it was so nice.
But.....typical Illinois, suppose to snow tomorrow, high of 42 here. Figures.
