At 300 cubits I can not consistently hit a buffalo with my longbow.

Out past 150 cubits I'm going sling and stone every time.

Range remaining a constant, does the target have to stay the same?

Range stays the same, you could swap targets every day if you want.

Purpose is test your maximum effective range on vital size of intended species.

Just because I blew my wad and bought a new Atacr, can I shoot the same arrow and broadhead every day as long as I take and post the pictures or do I have to have 5 separate arrows in the target (hopefully) for the final picture? Just wondering if I need to go buy more heads for this....

David thinks that's a great call.

Only one broad head and arrow needed! This is supposed to help people!

Bummed I can't participate. Just had spine surgery and can't draw my bow for 6 weeks. Looks like a fun challenge.

Hope to take a shot Saturday morning.

Odds are slim as I have to hunt next to a state park I've never even seen. Time to see if we have learned anything the last couple years

I'm super pumped for this! Not sure if I should go for the 50yd on even terrain, or the 38yd mountain shot???

Shot my final arrows at the motel tonight. How fitting that there is tipi set up to make this honkey feel a little like an Indian?
60 yards is going to be my max yardage for the CBC

Five in the vitals (3 Ironwill and 2 fieldpoints). But no nerves. The nerves will kick in in the morning when I know I only have 1 arrow.

BTW, that circle taped on the Matrix represents 8” vital on a mule deer. I’ve always shot 9 inches, but after reading @Phil Mendoza book, I decided to go with his recommendations on practicing for a smaller vital. Hope I don’t regret this! See you guys on the thread tomorrow

Do we post our shots each day on this thread or do we make a new one and put #coldbowchallenge in the title? Sorry if that's a dumb question I'm new at this whole forum thing!

You still have till June 5 to shoot your last arrow, so you should be good. But I noticed even though I shot mine five days in a row, I was getting rusty after the third day with no practice between arrows. I lose it fast.
