2024 Cold Bore Challenge Plans

[Harvey_NW]

I’m just going to shoot cold bore shots from both rifles on the morning of June 1st and video them.

If it's the same rules as last year it was 1 cold bore shot per day, same rifle, no shooting in between, to complete the challenge and qualify for the prizes at least.

I concur. I double dog dare you to claim a MER of >1k


To be fair we haven't seen anything posted about anything when it comes to rules for this years challenge.

I could say 1200 yards just to show how easy it is to miss at that distance lol.

1000 yards is truly unlikely for back to back first round impacts. The “cold bore” part doesn’t really do anything. But making a first shot almost perfect environmental read, as well as pairing it with the dispersion of the rifle humbles me basically every time I shop hahaha.

Yeah I read that, but I was going to do it with 2 different rifles, since I hunt with both of them.

If only one counts, no big deal. But if I’m driving out there, no reason not to cold bore them both each time IMO.

I’ll wait to see the legit guidelines though for sure.

I'd guess bear hunting will see this pushed back a few weeks/month.

Ar500?

…patiently…

I heard a rumor they’re going to post the new rules at midnight alaska time tonight, so all the eager boys and girls can wake up and open it like a present on Christmas morning.

Ar500?

Yeah it is. Dragon Targets is the best place I've found to buy AR500. Reasonably priced.

According to the rules, that would disqualify both entries. The Cold Core Challenge isn't about how your rifle shoots, its the shooter being Cold. Taking more than one shot on any of the days, or between the time you take your day one shot and the last, is not allowed. Atleast that is how last years challenge was run and also the same for the Cold Bow Challenge each year.

One shot per day only for shooter is what I remember from last year. That’s how I did it.

Yeah that makes sense. Then if you miss a wind call with one rifle, you can correct with the next. So it’s not really a legit comparison.

You bet!!

If you go into the “shapes” category, that’s where I got the 18x24” plates

Well now the real challenge is figuring out how to create a YouTube account, get video to computer and upload after shooting the first day before 100 other members can do the same…

Last year the challenge was open for a month before 100 people participated.
