Cold Bow 2026 QnA Thread

[dylanvb]

I had to get out early and shoot mine too. Got a busy day today plus the W is picking up and it is only going to get worse as the day goes on out here.

Just got out to shoot my first shot, now patiently waiting for the the thread to open

Since I have a house full of kids, I snuck out early this morning to kick off my CBC. I know the thread won't open till you mountain time boys have your coffee, but I figure the NFG's might want a demonstration of how to fill out a template, lol.

Btw, as my vital zone I'm just trying to keep it in the 8x8(ish) square on the Rinehart 18:1, but won't be happy unless it's in the green.

Thanks for the reminder Trumpkin!

Thread will be open 8:15.

Seems pretty obvious to me... don't participate! Stick it to the man! Shoot that bow as much as you want.

@Trumpkin The Dwarf @well_known_rokslider @jonesn3 strong start, no misses! I watched your video Well_Known.., nice range.

Now who’s gonna be first on the thread to miss. (Maybe me lol)

 

[jonesn3]

TBH, I almost would’ve expected it to be me to miss first. Shot a new location at the ranch, sun in eyes, woke up late, normal excuses! lol. Wasn’t sure if I was gonna make it this year, got the bow out yesterday confirmed everything was still shooting good from last season, and just went with the old tried/true IW which for me as been pretty forgiving for a fixed broadhead. Glad it worked out!

The hits keep coming! Lots of kill shots on day 1.

One of the most impressive starts it seems.

@CorbLand decided to let everyone else off the hook and sacrifice a barn door to the cause,

Just making everyone else look good. That’s something I excel at and momma always said to do what you’re good at.

I don’t see Billy Goat on the thread. Is he back behind his target looking for his arrow?

Just look at my post if you need some confidence.

 

[dylanvb]

I knew when I was shooting yesterday, and then last night at home that the perfect weather window was only going to last so long. Hopefully I can tighten up my shots these next 2 days. The wind can rip out here.

@Elkhntr08 that’s a small vital, braver than me
Post #34

@Mish-pop same here. I was hoping to move my MER to 65 this year but practicing at the last week I was missing half my shots. Amazing what 5 yards difference makes when you’re not all that good lol. But you nailed it! Post #39

@BigWoods thanks for hanging with us for 8 years of CBC. Good shooting man. Post #40

Very few first arrow misses this year everyone. Which is great. Nothing sucks worse than blowing your first arrow in the challenge, you don’t even wanna come back and finish. Except for @CorbLand he will Robin Hood his next two arrows for redemption
Hahaha

@Trumpkin The Dwarf @well_known_rokslider @jonesn3 strong start, no misses! I watched your video Jones, nice range.

Now who’s gonna be first on the thread to miss. (Maybe me lol)

Did @jonesn3 post a video or is he poaching credit for my range?

I haven’t shot my bow since I got my buck back in September. If I find time this month I might give you a run for your money
