2021 Rokslide Cold Bow Challenge Question/Comment Thread

[damxam]

Haven’t shot yet today. Sitting at the work desk psyching myself out. Good or bad I’ll have to wait few more hours to find out

I went to the range today after a long workout at the gym, it actually calmed my nerves a bit and I felt really good. Was worried I would be tired and less steady but overall I was just more focused. Never had to let down to calm myself, shot felt great and I’m back in the kill zone .

Good luck to all you dudes dealing with weather today! Sounds like almost everyone is getting hit with a windy day or two.

Starting to go through shooting withdrawals today... I may not shoot every day, but I really miss it if I don't shoot most days!

Picked up the shotgun.


Playing hell on starlings around the farm.

I kinda felt like I was cheating with my first arrow today. I've been shooting 100 arrows a day for a week or so getting ready for a tournament I went to last weekend. I waited till after work today for arrow #1 so I could be over 24 hours without a shot lol

Day 3 is done. Cant wait until I can shoot more than one arrow per range trip! At least it’s only a few minutes down the road.

Waited on the snow to fly for day 3.

I'm counting it, HA! Just needed some bad weather.

I figured this would be maxed out on participants before I got back from PA trout over the weekend. Checked this morning and saw it was open, changed lunch plans to get my target back into shape.
Think I’m in so here we go, first shot went well.

Shot felt crisp post workout today , no glasses

Man... I made some errors in judgement with my shot this morning. I don't think I've ever tried to shoot a bow while still half asleep, but I paid for it today. Didn't get my anchor set up right, and I'm pretty sure I dropped my bow arm a bit. First long tracking job of the 2021 CBC for me, and it sucks!

Can’t believe I’m on day 4 and still spots left. Got out this morning to beat the snow/rain coming in.
New footers will be here on Thursday, should be setting up my new heavy weight arrows this weekend. Be done with the challenge just in time.

The worst part of this whole thing is not being able to launch 2 or 3 more arrows to confirm what you did right or wrong and instead spending the next 24+ hours wondering how and if you'll find a way to screw things up on your next shot.

Last year everyone was stuck at home in "quarantine" or "lockdown."

This year's a bit more "normal" and people are able to get their shots in between riots.

I really like shooting in different weather and lighting conditions. It's not always sunny and 70 in the mountains. Good contrast with the bright sun on the snow and target deep in the shadows this morning. I shoot instinctive and find that these conditions make it very hard to focus on a spot. Good practice for shooting at animals in hunting conditions.




Not a great result. On centerline but high...typical. SMH.

 

[cjdewese]

Shot 4 down. Didn't feel great about this one but I will take it.

That’s what makes it real right there. When I started doing this five years ago, that’s when I realized I had been deceiving myself by shooting those extra arrows. I’d leave the range remembering those last arrows and not the first

With the wind advisory yesterday I didn’t shoot. So when I stepped up to the target this morning, I could feel the rust! I drew a few times to make sure I could get settled. I hit the vitals, but it still felt like a wing and a prayer.

Today was the first time I didn't do a couple warm up draws with my bow in the challenge. I wanted to see the difference, and there is definitely a difference. The takeaway for me is that I need to do a practice draw every couple hours while hunting if I'm not able to actually shoot an arrow.

I haven't been doing any practice draws, just grip it and rip it. I need to try a few practice draws before my shot tomorrow.

Same, just been gripping and ripping it. Did some pull ups last night before going to bed, definitely felt that this morning when I drew back about 10 minutes after waking up...
