. The nerves before you sling expensive broadheads at long range at a small target is the next closest thing to shooting at a real animal that I’ve found. Makes my hands sweat just thinking about it.
ya, nothing like flinging $50-$60 bucks to the windCan’t wait. Last year I used Sevr’s at 50yds, and this year plan to use fixed blade valkyries at 60yds.

Yes, scooting my MER up to 55 yds as well , was going to do 60 but to be productive I need to work on splitting pins , we’ll see how she goes , I feel like I have trouble with my Windage while focusing on splitting pins ,
With no archery tag last year, first time in almost 20 years, this is the longest I’ve laid off of bow in about that long.
Didn’t shoot from August until about two weeks ago. I’ve only got about 150 arrows down range and I’ve been practicing for this challenge.
So far, not doing very well.
I was going to go with 55 yards like I did last year, but the last two mornings shooting before work with my own cold bow challenge attempt, I’ve missed on the first arrow both days.
And like it usually is, nail it on the second arrow.
But that’s why this challenge has been so effective for me, as it really duplicates Hunting where are you only get one shot and you better be ready. Here’s today’s fiasco
Cold bow:
2nd arrow:
This is with an Ironwill broadhead.
Any of you other guys running through your scenario yet? We got about 10 more days to get ready.

I’ve been shooting a broad head for my first arrow the past couple weeks. Bumping up my MER a bit this year...no excuses now that I have a 100 yard range in my backyard!!

nothing like the CBC to kick bow prep into high gear. It's helped me get ready a few months earlier on the years I haven't shot year round
. 
nice shooting manI’ve been doing the same as you guys, trying a practice broadhead arrow first and second shot to test what’s realistic. So far 60yds has hit every time so I’m hoping I can push to 70yds before the challenge fingers crossed I don’t fall apart.
The red nocks below are my broadheads, vented LR and solid Valkyrie 180s. SUPER happy with the new vented blades so far.
