2023 Cold Bow Challenge Q&A Thread

[ColoradoV]

After being out for last year due to an injury I am looking forward to be back at it this year.

Funny but my daughter was bugging me to pull out her bow yesterday as at 11 she is taking hunters safety. This will be her first year in the draws and it seems some of the boys in her class don’t think she can hunt or shoot so she needed a video. Seems dem boyz are in for a wake up call ..

Sweet! Never participated but just read all the rules and it looks like a blast, I'm excited

My back yard still has three feet of snow.

He's been kinda cranky lately. Must be the cliff testing taking all his happy energy

You know I will.

I'm changing sights and going to a Whisker Biscuit rest.

I will shoot in most of my stuff, off my knees, 47 yards. Thinking about rain or shine, wind or calm.

...Thinking about rain or shine, wind or calm.

just like on the mountain! that's what this is all about.

You guys talk about snow. Add snow and wind! This may be a little rough. We have been hitting 70 mph winds consistently at my house. Where I can go shoot, there is probably going to be a tad more wind then that. Gotta love living on the plains.

Don't worry, you got plenty of time. That's why I started this thread to get a feel for timing.

I'm not worried about people not ready with their equipment too much as that's why we host this, to get guys moving early. But the weather has too cooperate a bit, too.

OK Guys, this will by a Late April/May competition this year. Looking like April 29th-May 27 BUT wait for official announcement.

and don’t relax and think you have plenty of time now LOL.

I got my new Mathews Phase 4 set up and shooting last Saturday. I had an elbow injury that kept off my bow longer than I remember in many years, no shooting Oct-to last weekend. Not good. But I’m flipping sticks now.

you?

Well, I shoot year round, in fact, it's hard for me to find time to do the challenge anymore because of how much I shoot/compete.

 

[JD Jones]

Settling in some new strings now. I’ll be ready

 

[Miflatlander91]

Debating on throwing new strings on now or wait till after. Currently shooting pretty good and plan 2 add some distance compared to last year

bought myself a Matrix target for Christmas. Have it set up in the basement in my 16 yard range! once the weather stops being a jerk it’s going outside to hopefully extend my range this year.

I'd do it now, then once challenge is over, you're set for hunting season as long you don't blow something up.

just give us five days, that's all we ask.

Setting up a new Bowtech Solution for hunting this year. Still in the process of broadhead tuning. Need to get it dialed in before the contest starts. Need to offload the Realm before the wife starts asking questions about the amount of bows in the gun room. Realm shot extremely well but having the deadlock technology is amazing for tuning.
