Cold Shot #9

Postby cnelk » 08 12, 2013 •  [Post 1]

Its getting close now guys...
Let the truth be told.

20 yards, on yours knees, sitting, shooters choice, holding min 12 seconds, at a obstructed target.
The kill zone is only a window to shoot thru.
Lets make it no larger than 8 inches wide

More fun!

Guess I'll start the show.Kneeling from 20 & holding for 20 sec. It was really tough for me to put my top pin on trunk thats going up on the right. :o My top pin is 30 & will hit about 3" high at 20. It cut the line. Calling it a 12!I love to play archery snooker with my buddies! There have been some trees damaged in the game...

Jeff, I give extra points for "stepping on the frog". :lol: That was a classic as well as your last shot. That's a great shot & if you put that arrow in red meat, he ain't going far.

Dave,
use the "you tube" icon on the top of your reply window.

Here is the complete URL from the You tube Video : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jz7qFGXP7pg&feature=youtu.be

When you click the you tube icon, just put ONLY the part that I have in red in between the you tube marks. (after the = and before the & sign)

Just cut and paste that section in there, and you'll be good to go
Best of Luck,

Backcountry,

Which contour do you have? I have the GPS model and I love the quality of video I get, but I'm having trouble editing because of the format it films in. It films in .MOV and iMovie won't accept that.

Just wondering if you had to deal with this and if so, how did you?


Thanks,
FA

Great setups and great shooting. Bow is at the docs, getting back up supplies for it. May have to find my old bow to shoot. Mrs Claus is going to have to have them elves build me a elk target for Christmas. Has to keep the anxiety ramped.

FA, I have the Roam2. I too was having issues with the formatting of the files. It has been a while since I edited but IIRC correctly I had to download a program that allowed me to convert the files from .MOV to .WMV... I'm not sure what format you would have to use for an apple product

You may also contact Contour directly.

It is mounted on a head band that holds the camera just above my left ear. Works great, excited to get some footage with it this year

this is a neat shot.

i missed a great animal once at 40 yards. clear, easy broadside shot. deer.

i let the arrow fly. on the way, it hit a branch at 20 yards. duh!! the branch looked high and out of the way., but i was on the arrow path. head slap moment. i should have given the other pins a quick glance.

I should add to my posts that I am taking these shots after I get done with my pack work out..........sweaty and tired.

40 yards.....best I could do with obstacles. I shot low........was not sure why until I checked out my bow later in practice. My Alphaburner had a vibration dampener coming lose....it's broke. I would shoot low when it was out of place and shoot right on when back to where it should be.
