Actually most pov corders can be bow mounted. Not the go pro. But it has a neat chest mount strap. Most of the pov corders are about the size of a roll of 50 cent pieces and can attach to just about anything. They come with many different mounts. Helmet and handle bar mounts are the most common.
I actually did some research into how good pov corders are when bow mounted and found a video and article by one guy that pretty much summed it up. They do great mounted on a bow but if you dont have one mounted somewhere else and or have someone recording also, you are most likely going to miss quite a bit of the kill shot time frame. With out practice steadying the bow when you fire, you are going to miss the impact shot cause of the jarring of the release. Then most people who do down their game are not going to think about keeping their bow trained on the target. While you are celebrating, your bow is most likely going to be pointed anywhere else but the animal.
So I would suggest a head mounted light weight couture pov corder. Or maybe a go pro chest mounted one.
