Its awesome when you do that to your partners arrow. 1st one goes on the wall but the rest are a pain in the a$$!

I seem to have a problem with robin hooding arrows. I've done it six or seven times in the last six months. Oddly enough it usually happens on a group that's less than tight. I just robin hooded one of my Easton FMJ's the other day at 50 yards. it wasn't a tight group. I stopped shooting groups of more than 3 arrows at 20, 30 and 40 yards. I'm getting to that point at 50 yards now too. I've been shooting alot at 60 and 70 yards with no cause for concern yet. Haha.
Every thought of my being is in regards to being a high tech predator and I relish the role.

Its only a lucky or unlucky shot depending on how you look at it. Its not skill unless you call the robinhood before hand!  :tup:

I haven't split one cleanly like that. Busted lots of nocks though, and cracked the ends of several arrows. I dunno if it's the wraps or just not a clean enough hit, but the ones I've busted have never cracked more than an inch or so down the shaft. I'm thinking about getting pin nocks. It might be cool to split em but it wears off pretty quick. It isn't cheap that's for sure.

I just did it for the second time this week, at 50 yards.  Was aiming for the orange sticker on the target.

There's 5 dots on the target.  1 arrow, one dot.  Always been the way I've shot and always will be.  Can't say I'm too keen on throwing away perfectly good arrows by shooting them.  Hell, I get pissed when I cut a fletch
:yeah:

Congrats on your first Robin Hood, thats cool.  You really should have kept that one.  But yeah, then start pulling them apart after that, or always shoot one arrrow groups!
I didn't say it was your fault, I said I was blaming you.
If I ageed with you, then we'd both be wrong.
