If shooter C was intentionally trying to hit shooter A's arrow , then it's a true robin hood. Doesn't matter who's arrows they are if your trying to hit it and you succeed , it's a robin hood.

If you intend on aiming for said arrow regardless of whose it is and then shaft it....you made a perfect shot ie..Robin Hood
But it is more impressive to bullseye your first shot and then shaft it your second....that may be interpreted as a pure Robin Hood but shafting any arrow you aim for to me is a Robin Hood and lets face it, more luck than skill considering the variables....yes it's the skill that puts the arrow where it needs to be but luck it doesn't glance...[&:].

RE: TRUE ROBINHOOD?
Well, my brother has gotten a few "true" robin-hoods as some would define, but I would never intentionally aim at my own arrows....you know how expensive they are, and how much time I spend building those suckers?[8D]
I aim at other peoples arrows, and that to me is just as much a robin hood as anything else. Infact, as was mentioned, probably more so. After all Robin Hood, split (shafted) his competitors shaft in the bullseye, not his own. Even Robin Hood knew to aim at multiple spots when practicing! And then aim at the other guys shafts in competition!

A true robinhood is two shots. First oneyou center punch the target then the second arrow shafts the first arrow

I always considered it aiming at and hitting your own arrow, regardless of bullseye or not. For instance, a 3D doesn't have a bullseye. But if you make a good first shot and then on the second shot aim at that arrow and center it, you got a robin hood IMO. I've done it once.

Actually Robin Hood never did "Robin Hood" an arrow. Since they used solid wood shafts, the 2nd arrow would follow the path of the grain and never stick into the 1st arrow. It was on Myth Busters so it must be true.

RE: TRUE ROBINHOOD?
Ok, let's complicate this further. A month ago I was shooting a five arrow group. I drove the fifth arrow up the arse of the fourth arrow. The fifth arrow came out upon removal of the two arrows from the target. Is that a robin hood?
