“Cold Shot” of the Day ‘25

[kiwi hunter]

My effort last three days
This morning i forced myself to concentrate and it worked out pretty good.

With the heat I decided not to chase after elk like I planned. Hit up the range instead. Wanted to practice some more with my pack on. Cold at 48 yards.

First shot ever taken in AZ - 57.5 yards with some mid teens wind. Exodus makes changing decisions easy.

Anybody else have to ever look for an arrow in a vineyard?

I think the draught is getting to me, as long as im inside the barn no problem then.

Was planning a “epic” long lob cold shot and missed the target. It was real windy. Arrow bounced high crossed a road and landed in a vineyard. Should have taken a pic of it laying there but I was trying to escape undetected with my arrow. Bought a $62 bottle of red to pay my dues.

Took a lot of shots after that were money but cold shot counts

The vineyard may have a gained an arrow today. I was sitting on the couch, shooting out the front of this cabin. My target is really too small for taking shots like that and being 10-12" off means you miss the whole target. It'll be my first lost arrow of the year - if I can't find it. I did crack the bottle of wine and was blown away considering how shriveled up those grape trestles look, but it's 2023 bottle. Hopefully foreshadowing for my elk hunt. If I find the arrow, i'll be sure to snap a "cold shot" pic. It might be stuck in that damn tree on the left of the pic above.

74yd broadhead cold shot yesterday. 2.75” high and right. Jumped in my truck and headed west 10 minutes later. A few more hours to drive this morning, and I’ll be hunting.

Cold shot was left this AM in about 10 mph wind, with totally wobbled out practice arrows. Quiver is full of perfectly staight spinning arrows - 4 exodus and 2 whack’ems. Red vanes have Halo nocks. Elk season opens in 3 days. Distance was 131 yards (top of my bubble level) when cranked all the way down.

who won the yeti mug?

My cold shot practice should have maybe been focused on quick softball sized targets (openings in limbs) at guessed ranges 17-26 yards.

Do we need to refer to you as ""Woody" now?
