2025 Cold Bore Challenge Q&A Thread

[HighUintas]

Sadly, I don't think I can use my flintlock for the challenge with a MER of 400.

Can you shoot your two shots in different locations?

I would assume so as long as the shots are within the distance criteria per the rules, they didn't specify locations. It seems unreasonable as some people can only shoot certain distances in certain places.

yes, as long as it's your MER (and >400yds) and it really adds to the challenge when guys do that. I've done it a few times in the Cold Bow and it definitely ups the ante.

right @Justin Crossley ?

That's fine as long as the distance remains the same.

I think getting off "the range" and mixing it up between shots makes it more fun/realistic.

I would, but we can’t due to the rules

Big boy first day, little guy second day. In different locations, different shooting positions, one right handed and one left handed.

Whatever you plan to hunt the most with.

I am more interested in hunting though as opposed to placing better at competitions/shoots/similar so that will always be my bias.

Yeah same here man. I really don’t care. This is just for fun and a challenge. Everything I actually do is around the thought of how to kill animals lol

I did 7 SAUM first year. 260 Rem last year. Undecided this year. I might break out a 30 cal just to mess with a few folks. I might also break out the old moose gun 22 Creed.

I’ll be shooting on the literal sun…

So many options! I like a lil 30 cal action myself. I just don’t own one right now

Anyone shooting with a sycthe? Maybe we can get one to fail on camera.

I'm playing with this one this year.

It’s pretty eye opening how easy it is to hit targets with it under a lot of conditions. It’s an excellent option!

Haha, get the angle just right and if we see the can flying through the air on video you get an extra entry?

Shot my 223 cold bore at 675 today for a little test run, 3mph gun really sucks past 500
Might be running a 6.5 for the actual challenge
