The "Cold One" Coldshot Challenge.
Happy Canada Day and 4th of July to everyone. This week's cold shot challenge is using something that makes an appearance at a lot of BBQS this time of a year, a red solo cup, and we're gonna fill it up...with arrows. It's a simple challenge to help us aim small, simple secure the cup however you'd like and walk back 10 paces and take your shot. If successful the next day go an additional 2 paces If unsuccessful you repeat the yardage the next day. Enjoy! I'll post my daily attempts for the coming week. Day 1 success. Tomorrow is 12 paces. If you don't have a cup simply make something similar in diameter.

@Grant Richardson 🤣 Can’t wait to get back to my longbow!
More arrows
It has been a few years since I had built arrows other than fletching up carbons but after the last set I did a friend wanted a set so here they are. I will start the cresting process this weekend. More updates to come.

Bare Shaft Tuning Questions/Opinions
Trying to get my new bow set up dialed in. I think I’m almost there but looking for some feedback/opinions. I shoot right handed and three under.. For anyone who bare shaft tunes; What yardage do you tune at? Do you tune for perfect level (not slightly nock high - again bare shaft - no feathers)? Do you keep your bow vertical for the tuning process for left/right spine check? I normally cant a little when I shoot but I’ve always read that you need to tune vertical for accurate assessment. Just curious what others do.

I shoot split, so my nock point will be a little higher than yours. I started at 1/2” high and ended up at 7/16” high to get rid of the up/down. I bare shaft at 10 yards till I get rid of any left/right out of my shot, then move back to 15 and 20 to confirm. I’ve never bare shafted thru paper, some guys think you have to. For me, traditional archery is about simplicity, so I try to keep it simple. I feel a lot of people over complicate things. If I have a bare shaft flying pretty straight at 20 yards, I’m golden!

I used to think tuning arrows was a pain. Now that I know and understand the process better, it’s kind of fun. My long bow is 57 pounds at 28 inches, I can shoot any arrow from a 340 to a 500 spine just by playing with arrow length and components. Once I get real close, I will only take 1/16 to 1/8 of an inch at a time off of the arrow length. Have fun with it, buddy, it’s an adventure!

There’s nothing so satisfying as the soft twang of the string and the hearty thump of a well placed arrow. Longbows Forever! 🏹
