“Cold Shot” of the Day ‘25

[Dan-06]

67 yards. Last year I couldn’t hit a barn door at 5 paces. New strings and a tune up. Feels great to be back on track.

Been shooting all summer just wearing my bino harness and hat and decided to sling some shots this morning after the weighted pack workout in the garage. Good reminder that I need to practice more with my pack on! First cold shot was the far left arrow, second was the right arrow, and third was the middle. I felt my bow string hit a strap on the release on the second shot for sure. 35 yards.

Getting them to “touch” can be expensive and it always matters where you aim.

Good shooting. Looks like an Arizona bull will be in trouble.

to the custom barred vanes. (FYI - You apparently can’t type what they are actually called).

30 yards.

Edit: @Lostinthewoods saw you asked about zingers. I love them. Its cheaper than buying fletched arrows, faster than fletching them, requires no tools and can be done in the field.

Mine have held up really well - ive lost some shooting into straw though. Other than that - no complaints.

Well, im a bit lost here
Bad day

Going to try a cold broadhead shot at 100 if I can get out of the office before dark. First broadhead shot with new bow.

 

[Frequently Banned Troll]

Had a slight wind, but I think I need to adjust.

 

[Frequently Banned Troll]

Held a little right in all the rest, 2 broadheads and 2 field points at 80, then 2 broadheads and a field point with a heavier lighted nock at 110.

First group today at 40. Was hoping to be in the circle above my arrows. First shooting after a couple week break. I think by the end of the day I worked through some of my reasons for inconsistency

Definitely a gut shot.

My target doesn’t have guts

10 yards in the back yard this morning

Getting serious with a brown target. My eyes are not cooperating with me this year. Truth be told, I couldn’t see the thin black lines, so I estimated center mass. 45yds cold shot.

 

[grizzly63]

Follow the lines and cut the silhouette for a touch more realism. Center mass leads to bad things sometimes and is a natural instinct.

Finally remembered to take a picture. Cold shot at 47

It was a rush job before leaving for a fishing trip. I thickened the lines and shot another 20 arrows hitting 3-5” behind the crease (various distances). Way better on my eyes shooting at something other than white dots on a black background.
