Default Camera on a crossbow

Well i did the unthinkable and mounted a digital camera on my eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeewwwwwwwwwwwww barnett and i must say its looking funny but at the same time its works but when i fire the bow the camera shuts off. Im thinking theres a bit of a shock to it, can somebody give me an idea as to stopping it from shutting down.

Default rubber washers

Mount thick rubber washers ( like 1/8-1/4 inch)from a Ace Hardware or similar place where the mount meets the camera. Juat an idea. Buckeyefootball

Get a different crossbow. I've seen several Ten Points and a couple of Parkers with video camera mounted on them that work real well. They are the small digital video cameras but the results are very good.
