If you have any questions or comments on the 2021 Cold Bow Challenge, please post them on this thread. This will keep that challenge thread clean and easy to follow. Thanks!

With the overwhelming response we’ve had, we have to limit the challenge to 200 shooters. Sorry, but it’s a ton of work to qualify the shooters.

The Challenge will start Saturday, April 17th AT 8:15 MTN TIME and run 4 weeks or 200 shooters, whatever we hit first.

Be sure and choose an MER that pushes you or you will be asked to restart the challenge or disqualified. Don't forget to define your vital size so we can see it on the target.

No more "I only got 20 yards in my backyard" posts. Lots of shooters travel to places they can shoot their MER. This challenge is exactly that, a challenge to make you a better hunter, so please put some effort into it.

5/19/21 update:

You all ready for this? This is the fun part for me and the staff. We love to give away great gear from Rokslide's very generous sponsors. Even if you don't win, support these sponsors as they stepped up with $thousands in gear to support the cause of making better bowhunters!

@Travis Bertrand drew for the winners.

The way I'm going to do it, is post the prizes valued under about $350 today and get that slew of emails out of the way, then post the bigger prizes between tomorrow and Monday.

First, if you don't want your prize, you can either...

1) Give it to a friend
2) Let the alternate shown next to your name take it.


I can't be the go-between on trading prizes! I just need to know who we're shipping to, so just send me the email when you have a final decision.

You can PM your alternate by using the search in upper right corner, 2nd text box in the drop-down (in full-site) then typing the screenname. I won't contact the alternate unless you don't claim your prize.

To claim your prize, email me at [email protected] by May 26th or prize goes to your alternate.

I’ve been waiting for this for weeks, one of my favorite parts of Rokslide. Can’t wait. Count me in. Shooting pretty well this year already, might up my effective range to 70/80 yards.

I haven't been able to shoot since my bow blew up a few months ago! I just got my new ventum 33 but waiting a couple more weeks for strings.... gonna be cutting it close! At least I have the recurve to practice with... oh wait, just broke a rub skiing last weekend so I can't do anything for another few weeks most likely!

I think the archery gods are not happy with me.

Been looking forward to this as well! I have a hard time seeing 75 yards, that’s one heck of a MER. Going to push myself to use broadheads and push my range much more than last year.

Just to be clear Robby, our spot in the challenge is only recognized after our first documented and posted arrow on or after April 17th in the CBC thread correct?

Yes! And last year the challenge was full in 4 days, but everyone was home then too.

I want to play! Do I have to sign up first?

I'm pretty sure last year when the actual thread was opened, no place holder posts were allowed. Your first post had to be of your day one shot, so your best bet is to mark your calendar for a trip to the range on 4/17.

Can’t wait! I’ve been a member for a few years but the cold bow challenge is what got me active last year and I’ve stayed pretty active on here since. It’s a lot of fun. Thanks for putting it on guys!

My broadhead target is pretty burnt up.


Considering using a piece of oak firewood that is about 10" in diameter. I could be testing MER, durability, and penetration all at once.

Kinda @@

@robby denning this deal is getting to be more popular than Monday night football!!! Might consider a minimum post count or something of the sort. Reward those that contribute. That being said, I hope to get in again! I need to see if I can pull my bow back! 😬

Hey bro, either I’m not understanding you, or you haven’t read the rules. We always award for post count. It’s built-in, doubles your points in fact.

I hope you can pull your bow back.
