How common is this?

I have seen plenty of pictures of "robin hood" shots. Busted plenty of nocks and tore up fletching in my years of shooting. Just recently i shot a "robin hood". How common is this really?2007 Matthews Drenalin & Easton Epic 400 shafts. Pic-to comply with man-law.

A true robin hood (bulls eye splitting a bulls eye)... Not very common at all.

Accidentally splitting an arrow while shooting groups..... happens quite often.

I aint bustin on ya cause I have never had a true Robin hood either but I have split a few arrows.

Yup did it with my Easton Axis ST's last year. Didnt think it was possible but it is.

damn, kinda makes me wanna shoot more arrows at each spot, jk lol! i dont wanna tear arrows up but was wondering if anyone has done it with a fp.

Mine is a FP shot. All of one penetrated the other except about 3 " my arrow length is 29" and I have a 32 1/2" arrow to show off now. I used to see alot of alluminum arrows proudly displayed at my local shops, but later found out that if you pummel a target with arrows and leave them there for several rounds sooner or later you"ll get one. But carbon appears to be a bit tricky in that if you are slightly off center it"ll bust the nock,split the shaft at the nock. Not trying to brag but mine was a 30 yrd. shot at a Delta deer trgt. and was shot one and two for the day! I was lucky in several instances, cheaper arrows than now, first time so its neat, and the odds are stacked aginst me ever doing it again are tremendous

Bullseye split with another bullseye, I've done it, not the EXACT center but all 5 shots inside the X ring at 20 yards.

Now what would be really impressive is 3 arrows stacked together....split the first with the second, then the second with the third. [8D]
