Cold Bow 2025.... QnA Thread

[robby denning]

I remembered what I used to preach working at a bow shop. Don’t start shooting the week before season...

one of the main reasons we have this challenge.

..."I wish I never would've shot this challenge because now I'm 3 months ahead of schedule" said no one after shooting CBC

(of course there's always a smart a$$ out there and will chime in now, lol)

The 2025 Cold Bow Challenge will start Saturday, May 10th AT 8:15 AM MTN TIME on the Challenge Thread Here.

(You’re currently on the QnA thread)

Hit the "Watch" button upper right on both threads to receive the notification when someone posts.

and get your bow ready

For 2025, it's again 3-arrow, broadhead-only challange (expandables counted as broadheads)

I'll be updating prizes on the Challenge Thread over the next few weeks, but let's just say we're not gonna let the Cold Bore Challenge rifle crowd win the only Swarovski Spotter this year...just sayin...And looks like YETI is in for a sweet cooler!

Blah blah blah... no one should go three days without shooting their bow in the mountains... cold shots are unrealistic... this didn't help me AT ALL! Why can't I shoot field points since I use mechanicals! And what about crossbows?!?! Where's my Swarovskiiiii!


There, did that cover the main angles?

Wise cracks aside, what's the status on this? I haven't had time to read through all the entries in the main thread.

 

[Howard Mee]

I’ll log in and give it a look. I’ve been unavailable for a couple days. Stand by!!

I'm showing 2 shooters (in the first 100) have not finished their 3rd shot

Call them out, maybe someone thought they were done and didn’t post their 3rd shot.

Next years rules…

Not finishing in 2 weeks = Banned

It's not very considerate to accuse a man of being ignorant of his status. I'm sure they're competent individuals who are fully aware of what they're doing and fine with some alternates taking their place in the drawing.

From a quick scan of everyone, I think there’s only one person left that needs to shoot their third arrow. Maybe they just forgot to upload their last shot

 

[awcopeland]

Just want to take the time and say thank you for not only putting this on and the gracious sponsors of this, but also the moderators that take the time to count everyone’s shots and posts. It’s truly impressive.

 

[thegoosano]

If we have 100 qualified shooters before June is that a record?? Honestly seems like this is ahead of schedule this year.

I’ve gotten some broadheads for the multi-piece stick bow and started shooting them while waiting… gonna start my CBC v2.0 tomorrow if this is still open

New format for CBC! If it's not closed in 3 days, the on time guys can keep adding arrows to their shot count for extra draw chances. Get these slackers to shoot their bows! #givememyswaroofski

Ohhh I like that rule.. and if you get the scope then I’ll try those iron will arrows on for size while we are picking out prizes!

Make it more exciting, they can only shoot extra if they increase the distance for each extra shot.

5 yard min per shot until you miss.
