Will a GoPro work fine mounted to a bow?

Don’t the new GoPros have the rear screen so you know what the camera is pointed at?

GoPro makes a Sportsman mount meant for a bow stabilizer or rifle barrel. Or if you want a cheaper option, the GoPro handlebar mount can work also.
Just balance it well, practice with it, make sure it's always mounted in the same place, etc and you'll be fine.
If its good enough for Dudley, it would be good enough for me.

I'd be really cool if you could get a small camera and mount it to an arrow and shoot it and record that!

I've had go pros and it always seemed like I wouldn't get that shot because you couldn't see what your seeing while you're recording. I also had a tactacam that is pretty cool as it looks like a little flashlight and can come with a stabilizer that the camera slides into and screws into and you can watch what it's recording on your tablet or phone while it's recording. I got rid of it as it was just kind of odd to sit in the tree with a tablet and try and shoot something while watching your tablet and making sure everything is right before taking the shot. The cell phone mount seems to be the easiest for me to use and you can see in real time what you are recording without any other devices.

For some reason I thought we had a hunting forum on here. Anyway, I'm considering mounting my GoPro to my bow, just below my hand. Is there any reason this won't work?
Yes, I'm going to do it and find out. Just wanted to see ahead of time this there's a better camera option for bows. I saw some other brand/style for sale at Cabela's but don't really want to buy another camera.
