Cold Bow 2026 QnA Thread

[well_known_rokslider]

Anyone else miss shooting 20-60 arrows a day? I’m having to practice a lot of self control… not shooting more than one arrow a day is rough .

100%! My second hit felt so uncommonly comfortable and natural all I wanted to do was fling more arrows and really stretch things out for fun but but then i remembered "SHIT i'm on lock down!"

We just shared your video on Rokslide's YT channel. the revolution has begun. girls shoot in bikinis, WKRs in shorts

this is why we started testing cold bow style 10 years ago. Had to admit I'd walk away from any range session with my best group in memory, not my first arrow.

I think you mentioned it earlier that your first arrow of day was really good leading up to this challenge and then you went 1/3. I now pay more attention to my first arrow more when I shoot throughout year as well.

How many of you guys have started bringing targets along on hunting trips more often after seeing your performance on this challenge? I never used to and would sometimes be 5+ days between flinging arrows. Seeing how performance can drop off with less practice I bring mine along now and even if it is not a long distance I try to shoot every day or two if I can

Trad guy here... I shoot daily while hunting. Usually with judo points.

 

[Ultracarry]

so far im good with an expandable - thinking about trying a fixed blade at 100yds for my last shot and see if you can trust that “they fly like a field point” sales pitch …. We don’t get extra points for being accurate do we?

I also shoot those targets of opportunity, grouse, groundhog, Marmot.

Even in the backcountry I throw in a little burlap target. I try to shoot every day if I can at least an arrow or two. And it’s one of the big reasons we started this challenge to show people how fast your form deteriorates unless you’re shooting regularly, even with a compoun

Ask @Trumpkin The Dwarf about trad. It’s worse.

I checked it out, still a good shot. Should be happy with that. So you went three for three good job man.

I have a longbow and I don't shoot it very often. I could be lethal to about 8-10 yards right now. At that distance I might just as well throw a spear . Someday I have a goal to take a deer with a trad bow.

 

[Mish-pop]

@Trumpkin The Dwarf how many days a year do you shoot your trad bow?

 

[Ten Bears]

kinda shocked the challenge hasn’t reached capacity yet. some good prizes this year.

gonna link this with the “people are crazy” thread that was going last week.

Day two and I made some noise. I hit steel but I might still be able to shoot the same arrow/BH. Gonna spin it when I get home. Looks like I might just be down a nock.

Stud move for shooting steel. Good job putting the pressure on.
