Well, it's raining here this evening, so I decided to go out to the archery shop and do some fine tuning and shooting in preparation for my upcoming 5 spot league. I was shooting with the shop owner's son, whom I am pretty good friends with. Next thing you know.......BOING........I robinhooded my first carbon arrow! I have only done that 2 ther times, and that was with big aluminum jobs about 8 years ago. That was pretty cool. I found the nock back, and it was split perfectly in half. I didn't know whether to laugh or cry.......
Yeah.....that was pretty cool.

As you know it also gets expensive!

Congrads. My first was with carbon actually my only one

Ouch! Yea, you first think its pretty cool then you start thinking about buying more arrows[8D]. I've done several alums but never a carb. I just figured the alums were straighter

congrat's It's been 5 long years since I did my first one and I'm still trying for the second one.

always "cool" the first time, after that, it's kinda dumb!

My buddy has been hunting for 16 years and never shot one. I started bowhunting in 2000. I shot two robinhoods within 2 months at 20 and 30 yds. a few years back both with carbon.To this day he is still trying for his first one.

Here's a picture of my first "carbon-hood". I've kept the arrow stuck together like this, much to the dislike of my wife. She doesn't think it's as cool as I do!

My first carbonhood came about 5 years ago. I at my archery dealers and he kept talking about how I should try this new arrow carbon express came out with. He wanted me to test shoot it there because he thought I would be hooked after I shot it. After forth shot with him looking over my shoulder, I robin hooded a previous arrow. The good part is that I didn't have to pay for it, the bad part was he was right.....I was hooked on them. $$$$$$$$$

I use the same arrows, great shaft for all around use.
