2019 Cold Bow Challenge Question/Comment Thread

[Fatcamp]

Reset our pins to 20, 30, 40, 50, 60.

Wife says she is sticking with 40, haven't made up my mind. Broadheads for sure, just questioning distance.

For this year we have a big deer target, though. Should be fun.

I haven’t made my mind up yet either. Either 55 or 60...

How about an ice-cold bow challenge? First arrow after not touching your bow for 6 months. Bonus points for hitting the target!

that's the program we're trying to eliminate!

Yes! I am definitely in! Trad with broadheads. I had a lot of fun last year with it.

Another prize has been added to the CBC--thanks Pyro Putty/Phoneskope!

A five pack of Pyro Putty. I reviewed this good stuff here and here

Any thoughts on using smaller pins for longer distances?
I am using a Black Gold Rush and really like it. I see I can put .10 pins in it rather than the .19 that are in it now. At 60 that .19 seems big.

Anyone using smaller pins?

I use .010 pins from top to bottom

I run a 3 pin BG slider, run a .010 on the bottom, would like to change all of them just haven't done it yet.

If you call black gold they will let you send the pins in and change out the fibers for you. At least they offered that to me.

I tried 0.010" pins but went back to 0.019" for my Black Gold sight...but I am older but chose to shoot without progressive or bifocal lenses. I couldn't see the small pins very well, especially with the hard focus on the target that I shoot with. I do have a couple of the Black Gold 0.010"pins sitting around if someone wants them for a modest fee. (Extra points if you are in western Canada).

What distance do most of you typically do this cold bow challenge at?

I’ll may end up only doing 40? Although I often shoot much further and feel my MER is much further that’s the furthest I can shot at home. I may try to load up the target and head out to the woods but that’s a lot of time. If I end up finding a spot to get out that’s not too far from home I’ll probably shoot 70 which is typically what I practice at. It’s a half hour drive up to the local range from my house.

I’m going to have to dig out the trad bow too!! Haven’t shot it in several years.

I did 70 the first year but that was with field points. Did 60 last year with Broadheads and is probably what I’ll do this year.

Hope I can do better than I did in ‘16. It was an eye opener. I made a lot of excuses.

Set a pin to 60 this year, but it is not going as well as I had hoped.

My first shot was good.

I had just finished a bunch of fence maintenance so my arms may have been tired. Things went downhill quickly.

This sounds fun... I'm in
