Cold Shot Challenge
For ten days, your first arrow of the day from 30 yards, with no warm-up. One arrow a day, and it has to count.
At a glance
The challenge in four numbers
What you need
Kit list
- The NockPoint anatomical vitals target (printable, linked in the challenge in the app)
- A bale to pin it to, at 30 yards (about 27 m)
How it's scored
Keeping score
11 for the centre ring, 10 for the kill zone, 8 for the vitals, 0 outside the vitals (body hits count as a miss). Ten days, so a perfect run is 110.
In the field, the first shot is the one that counts. This tests exactly that: no warm-up, no second chance, every day for ten days.
How to set it up
Three steps, then shoot
No practice shots.
