THe GoPro cameras are great, however if you search this site , you will find that most people do not mount them on their bows/rifles, as the jump of the bow or recoil of the rifle usually throws the camera off point of impact.

Most people use them as a 2nd POV (Point of view) camera for filming the shooter, where the bigger, better camera (and usually a camera guy operating it) is filming the shot...

The videos on the site are pretty neat....

I wonder if this is still a problem with the newer past-parallel bows that have almost no recoil or jump. The 2011 Dream Season EVO that I'm shooting is literally 'dead' in my hand during, and after the shot. The only concern I can see would be if your bow wasn't balanced after the shot, and tipped backwards.
