Tried shooting an arrow into an nockless arrow - Success

[Pope94/IA]

I felt like doing something differant when shooting today so I deicded to get the camera out and try filming me shooting an arrow into another one that doesn't have a nock. I unloaded two quiver loads (5 arrows) before I finally did it. I did it on the tenth shot. The only problem is that my arrow didn't go all the way down the shaft it just went a little ways.

When I shot my first few shots at it they were misses but they moved the target a little so when I got to my final shot the target wasn't lined up the same and I ended up hitting it at a slight angle so it didn't go that far in.
It was fun doing it though.







Ill upload the video later.

the fact that it only took you 10 shots is pretty impressive, how far away were you? I've had two robin hoods but neither was on purpose. It is kinda cool when it happens, but now i generally only shoot one arrow at a time to avoid splitting nocks, tearing fletching and ruining shafts.

They typically dont go too far down the other shaft...

Now work on trying to do it accidentally lol

I was 20 yards away. I did this all for fun and to try something new. I felt pretty confident that I could do it because im excellent at 20 yards and there wasn't a nock on the end. I didn't plan on doing it in 10 shots though. I was expecting atleast 100+ shots.

stabnslab, the other arrow was broken any way so there was no way of using it so I only wasted 9 or 10 dollars but it was worth it. When does a 14 year old boy shoot two robin hoods within a year? I felt pretty proud that I was trying to do it this time and did it.
