Did it again...This gets Expensive!

[returnofsid]

I've now shot 3 Robbin Hoods, once with each of the 3 bows I've owned...

#1 Mathews SQ2.  I got this bow as a Father's Day gift, from all of my kids, last year.  My very first bow.  That was June 16, 2013.  June 26th, I shot my first Robbin Hood.



#2 Hoyt Vectrix Xt500.  I purchased this bow, used, July 26, 2013.  Second Robbin Hood, July 28, 2013.  I hadn't even had the opportunity to completely sight this one in yet!



#3 2013 Hoyt Carbon Element.  My first NEW bow, purchased April 27, 2014.  Shot my third Robbin Hood this evening...





I rarely shoot at the same dot, at anything under 30 yards anymore.  However, I'd just wrapped and fletched these arrows last night and wanted to see how well they grouped.  It's the first time I've ever attempted wrapping or fletching.  I guess I now know how they group...

Yea it's a good, but sick feeling.

OK, now you wanna back up to 10 yards!

Haha. My first was at 20, second at 30, today's was at 20.

It was cool the first time, then I didn't want to do it again

You can still see how your arrows group when shooting different spots   Though it is fun to stack them once in a while!  Now that arrows are over $100/dz it does lose it's fun factor rather quickly

It can be fun but gets spendy really quick these days. Ive won a few bets doing it 

[coachcw]

you can shoot a group at different dots

[DoubleJ]

You're the type of person who doesn't learn from past mistakes, aren't you?

[h2ofowlr]

This is why I only shoot one arrow per bulls eye!  Than it is cheaper.  I may shoot two at one bull if 60 yards or further back.  Not worth fracturing shafts, breaking off fletching or destroying shafts at $8 - $15 each.

Can't shoot at single spots at those short distances.

What gets me is that we can shoot groups tight enough to get the occasional Robin Hood, but the same guy can also miss an ENTIRE elk at 30 yards.  Been there....done that!

Adrenaline factor, happens more often with rutting elk than almost any other animal.

Out of curiosity, when you've missed due to adrenalin do you tend to miss in one direction (high, low, etc.)?  Or found it unpredictably off target?

This clip shows a miss that could be attributed to being amped up. This clip only shows one miss but the longer version shows I believe 3 clean misses before he sticks one.
