Nice shooting. Its worth a few bucks to do that every now and then isn't it?I personally wouldn't know.

With the compound.....I'd cringe. With the longbow.....COOL!

It's always a greater feeling of pride (combined with a healthy dose of astonishment

) when done with a longbow.

Never done that with my trad gear. Nice shooting.

Yeah, but he still gets points off for not aligning the fletching. The cock feather on the second arrow is at least 20 degrees out of alignment with the first arrow. 9.85 out of 10. [8D]

Leave it to an engineer to point that out. [8D]

These arrows were the last two of three of the old 2216 super swages (they take uni-nocks) that I had. I still have one that is unfletched. All of the other 2216's that I own have the regular taper swage ends on them. Those are much tougher to robin hood. I think I'll keep these two the way they are. I think this was the closest I ever came to the true robin hood, they were the first two shots I took that morning. I called my son down to have a look and I think he was more excited them me.

But I really think the bow is telling me to get it out hunting this year and stop neglecting it. Late bowseason opens next Monday so I think I'll take it up on it's offer.

Bob, I've had a pretty stiff hankerin' to make myself a straight limbed HH-style bow for a while now. You ain't helping me to get over it, at all. Not by a long shot.

Good shooting....

ive only ever done it once, it was at around 13 yards so i dont know if it counts, but like a dumass pulled themapart so i could use the good arrow(it wasnt easy either)... i'll probably not get another for, well possibly ever. the arrow i split was a Easton Legacy....i wonder how hard the super slams are to split(uninock). id like to see some high speed camera footage of an aluminum, carbon and wood arrow being split.
